mechnize redirected url

[akanksha]

I am using mechanize to scrape and I know that mechanize goes to the
url a browser would redirect me to. However is there some way to
capture what this new url is?

ex: abcd.com ----------------redirected to --------------------->
xyz.com
how can I use mechnize to find xyz.com given abcd.com?

Thanks!

I think I'm right in saying that:

agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
page = agent.get('http://abcd.com')
puts page.uri.to_s
#=> "http://xyz.com"

Could be wrong, though. Give it a try.
