Ruby – net/http – following redirects

by

To follow redirects, you can do something like this (taken from ruby-doc)

Following Redirection

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

def fetch(uri_str, limit = 10)
  # You should choose better exception.
  raise ArgumentError, 'HTTP redirect too deep' if limit == 0

  url = URI.parse(uri_str)
  req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path, { 'User-Agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (etc...)' })
  response = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port, use_ssl: true) { |http| http.request(req) }
  case response
  when Net::HTTPSuccess     then response
  when Net::HTTPRedirection then fetch(response['location'], limit - 1)
  else
    response.error!
  end
end

print fetch('http://www.ruby-lang.org/')
