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
