[ptt-users] Problem with HTTPProtocol.connect(1)

[Geoff Meakin]

I wrote a routine to handle some of our redirect problems. It may or may not be of use to you... (see the base url checking in the refreshcheck section)


    def getPage( self, url, params=None ):
        self.log(1,"Get  "+url+" with params="+str(params))
        while url!='':
           #print str(url)
           if params==None:
               resp=self.get(url)
           else:
               resp=self.get(url, params)
           locationcheck=str(resp.getParameterValue('Location'))
           if locationcheck==None or locationcheck=='None':

               # Check for <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=home.do">

               #self.log(1,"  urlcheck> "+str(resp))
               refreshcheck=re.match('.*<META\ +HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh\ +CONTENT=.*URL=([^\"\']*)',str(resp),re.IGNORECASE)
               if refreshcheck==None:
                   url=''
               else:
                   #self.log(1,"  refreshcheck> "+str(refreshcheck.group(0)))
                   try:
                       nurl=refreshcheck.group(1)
                       nurl=nurl.lstrip().rstrip()
                   except:
                       nurl=''
                   #self.log(1,"  ===> "+nurl)
                   if re.match('^https?://',nurl,re.IGNORECASE):
                       url=nurl
                   else:
                       if string.find(nurl,'/')==0:
                           url=re.sub('^([^\.]*\.[^\/]*)\/.*','\\1',url)+nurl
                       else:
                           url=re.sub('/[^/]*$','/',url)+nurl
                   self.log(2,"  ---> "+url)

           else:
               url=locationcheck
               self.log(1,"  ---> "+locationcheck)
        return resp


Cheers

OK Frank...

Any idea how people have resolved this in the past?  Will I be forced to
have to handle the redirects manually?

Thanks,
Aaron.

Hi Aaron: I've taken a look at this in the past and found that the  
browsers handle redirects differently.
