http://www.nature.com/nature/current_issue 302s to http://www.nature.com/nature/current_issue/ which 302s to http://www.nature.com/nature/current_issue/index.html

That URL generates a webpage which says... 

...
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;url=/nature/journal/v449/n7161/"
+ />
</head>
<body onLoad="location='/nature/journal/v449/n7161/'">
</body>
</html>

...I'm not sure if WWW::Mechanize follows meta refreshes, but even if it does this particular meta refresh seems a bit bogus -- the url portion of the content attribute needs to be fully qualified.

But since browsers seem to respect it (it seems to work in firefox even with javascript turned off) WWW::Mechanize could probably be improved to respect it as well.
