Hi,

Is it a bug ? The httpcli example doesn't work with this url :
http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40350907?referer=xid


I suppose that it's because this is a redirected page, and the location is a relative address :
/title/tagalog-english-english-tagalog-dictionary-talatinigang-pilipino-inggles-inggles-pilipino/oclc/40350907?referer=xid


I tried with some others redirected pages, it's working fine and all have a complete location address, ie :
http://www.domain.tld/newpage.html


If it's not a bug, how can I do to get the new page ? For now, using this code
Httpclient c;
String url = http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/40350907?referer=xid;
c.URL(url);
String content = c.ExecuteRedirect();
puts("[error] " + Nvl(client.GetError(), "OK (no error)"));

I get an error
[error] gethostbyname(): Connection timed out

I'm really not sure, but aren't redirect URIs supposed to be absolute according to norm?

I'm not saying the code can't handle relative URIs as well, but if it's defined in norm as absolute only, it's partly bug in the web page too, not only code.

Sorry, no time to verify anything of this today. Wink

Hi mr_ped,

Yes, I was also surprised to see this relative redirection : It's the first time I see that, and I was also thinking that it's not RFCs compliant !

I'll see later the RFC. For now, I have to find a way to get this page...
