Subject: problem with http - 302 error

When I run this on windows against a url that returns a 302 it
recurses through again and gets to the correct url.  However running
this same code on debian with ruby 1.6 I get the following error on my
stack trace.  Any suggestions?

 ERROR: 302 Moved Temporarily
  /usr/local/lib/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/net/protocol.rb:230:in `error!'
  /usr/local/lib/checkout/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/net/http.rb:1233:in
`value'
  /usr/local/lib/checkout/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/net/http.rb:575:in `get'

  REDIRECT = "302"
  OK = "200"
  SERVER_ERROR = "500"

  response, = http.get(url.request_uri, headers, content)
  case(response.code)
    when REDIRECT
      successful = load_page(response['location'])
    when SERVER_ERROR
      message = "Loading the url <#{url}> resulted in an internal
server error: \n<#{content}>"
    when OK
      successful = true
    else
      message = "Loading the url <#{url}> resulted in an unknown
response code: #{response.code}"
  end
