Subject: Re: Problem with open-uri

Hi Todd,

    Thanks for the quick response.  Unfortunately, I need to have the 
ability to take a simple uri and follow the redirections.  open-uri 
works for some uris, but not for yahoo for some reason.  If you do 
open("https://mail.google.com"), it will follow the redirects and 
successfully download the html at the redirected uri, which is 
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin.  this looks like a bug in 
open-uri to me, as mechanize (and firefox) is able to follow the 
redirects for yahoo.

    I can't find a way to report bugs for open-uri.  Anybody know how to 
do this?

Regards,

jon
