broken redirect

Reported by: anonymous Assigned to: nahi

Component: core Version: 2.0

Description

As stated in RFC 2616 - Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 "For 3xx responses, the location SHOULD indicate the server's preferred URI for automatic redirection to the resource. The field value consists of a single absolute URI."

RFC2119:" SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course."

"SHOULD" is recommendation. Which sometimes does not describe real world situations.

I saw URI.parse used for checking redirects which fails on:

Location: index.php?str=Wrong username or password.

I'm not suppling any fix. It's my third day on ruby, i'm a bit afraid to mess things up. I used php pear HTTPClient library and Curl who behave right in this particular situation. Thanks.
