Was wondering if someone could help me out with a little prob

Wrote a little script which searches a website search engine nicely, and msg the result into the channel.
But there is one thing i wanna change, it retrieves a search engine like url.

Code: Select all

for example http://searchengine/search9874392849090925398729837523

but if you open up the link, youre get redirected to the proper url of the page.
Now my question is, how can i can let my eggbot open up the searchengine url and retrieve the new url it gets redirected to.

Thnx in advance

open a socks connection, the returned data should give you the redirect info

Check out any google script that only gives you the "I feel lucky" result. It will contain code doing exactly what you need. (Fetching the "Location" header)
