Since I have your attention... :) Playing around with some test response codes, I've found that (at least) 300 (multiple choices) and 320 (bogus) do not redirect, even though they fall under is_redirect().
Traces: -- LWP::UserAgent::new: () LWP::UserAgent::request: () LWP::UserAgent::send_request: GET http://diveintomark.org/tests/client/http/300.xml LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied LWP::Protocol::http::request: () LWP::Protocol::collect: read 169 bytes LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Multiple Choices LWP::UserAgent::request: () LWP::UserAgent::send_request: GET http://diveintomark.org/tests/client/http/320.xml LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied LWP::Protocol::http::request: () LWP::Protocol::collect: read 338 bytes LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Unknown code 320 -- Is there a reason why these aren't followed? Should they be followed? -Brian PS: Gisle, I think I sent this directly to you a while back, but I never got a response (mail server mess up, no doubt, since I never actually got the "reply that originally only went to Brian" mentioned earlier today *shrug*). If you've already replied, please send that along. Thanks! http://www.gordano.com - Messaging for educators.
