Subject: How to get redirect log in Mechanize?

Hello. In ruby, if you use mechanize following 301/302 redirects like
this

require 'mechanize'

m = WWW::Mechanize.new
m.get('http://google.com')
how to get the list of the pages mechanize was redirected through? (Like
http://google.com => http://www.google.com => http://google.com.ua)

Here is the code in mechanize responsible for redirection

 elsif res_klass <= Net::HTTPRedirection
        return page unless follow_redirect?
        log.info("follow redirect to: #{ response['Location'] }") if log
        from_uri  = page.uri
        raise RedirectLimitReachedError.new(page, redirects) if
redirects + 1 > redirection_limit
        redirect_verb = options[:verb] == :head ? :head : :get
        page = fetch_page(  :uri => response['Location'].to_s,
                            :referer => page,
                            :params  => [],
                            :verb => redirect_verb,
                            :redirects => redirects + 1
                         )
        @history.push(page, from_uri)
        return page

but trying to m.history.map {|p| puts p.uri} shows 3 times the uri of
last page..
