Reading an HTML Page Redirect
[1/4] from: vonja::sbcglobal::net at: 12-Sep-2008 12:53
Hello,
I'm reading a page from a URL (e.g.,
http://referrer.com/cgi-bin/redirectpage.php)
that redirects to a differnet web site (e.g.,
http://www.new-redirected-site.com/)
Rebol correctly reads the redirected HTML Source but I would like
to know if there's a way to grab the "domain name" (i.e., HTTP_HOST)
of the redirected page? Thank you! --Von

Hey,
You could try OPEN instead of READ and poke around in the port
>> rsite: open http://www.flutter.com/
>> probe rsite/url
http://www.betfair.com/
== "http://www.betfair.com/"
>> close rsite
>>
cookies, content and a lot of other stuff are in the port aswell.

Wow, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I really
appreciate the help! Quick question, what
happens if you don't close the port and open
a new port for a different URL?

If there are no more references to the port, it will eventually be
closed and collected by the GC. If you plan to reuse words to refer to
ports, you can always use a mezzanine and attempt to close the port
first.
