Subject: screen scraping programaticprogrammer.com ?

The following is from "Programming Ruby 2nd" p.133:

----
require "net/http"

h = Net::HTTP.new("www.programaticprogrammer.com", 80)
response = h.get("/index.html")

if response.message == "OK"
   puts response.body.scan(/<img src="(.*?)"/m).uniq
end
----

It doesn't work: nothing is printed.  So, I modified it a little:

-----
require "net/http"

h = Net::HTTP.new("www.programaticprogrammer.com", 80)
response = h.get("/index.html")

puts response.message
puts response.code

if response.message == "OK"
    puts "*"
    puts response.body.scan(/<img src="(.*?)"/m).uniq
end
-----

and the output was:

Found
302


I clicked a link on their home page and tried to access the page that
was displayed, but I got the same result.  What am I doing wrong?
