Ruby - net/http - following redirects

Question

I\'ve got a URL and I\'m using HTTP GET to pass a query along to a page. What happens with the most recent flavor (in net/http) is that the script doesn\'t go

Maybe you can use curb-fu gem here https://github.com/gdi/curb-fu the only thing is some extra code to make it follow redirect. I've used the following before. Hope it helps.

require 'rubygems'
require 'curb-fu'

module CurbFu
  class Request
    module Base
      def new_meth(url_params, query_params = {})
        curb = old_meth url_params, query_params
        curb.follow_location = true
        curb
      end

      alias :old_meth :build
      alias :build :new_meth
    end
  end
end

#this should follow the redirect because we instruct
#Curb.follow_location = true
print CurbFu.get('http:///').body
