The server can accomplish a redirect by sending back a page that is the 
same as the original page, but that has a <meta> html tag.  The <meta> 
html tag can direct the browser go to a specified url in a given number 
of seconds, which can be 0 seconds.

If that is the case, then you need to get the url specified in the 
<meta> tag.  You can examine the html of the page to see if it has a 
<meta> html tag by looking at the output from:

page = agent.get('http://google.com/')
puts page.body   #which appears to be undocumented

Try that and post the first 20 lines or so of the output.
