LWP will only redirect on an HTTP redirect (e.g. status 302). Web sites may use other methods to simulate a redirect, such as JavaScript or META refresh, which LWP doesn't parse and handle. It would be more helpful if you provided the full response with headers. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc. "Leveraging Open Source for a better Internet"
