Sample URL:http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B21005575-02D4-D4B5-4572-D28A72DE3461%7D&siteid=rss&rss=1Produced 301Location: https://www.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B21005575-02D4-D4B5-4572-D28A72DE3461%7D&siteid=rss&rss=1Which produced 301location: /story/guid/21005575-02d4-d4b5-4572-d28a72de3461?siteid=rss&rss=1Which produced 301location: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-new-york-stock-exchange-president-says-the-stock-market-is-not-a-casino-heres-what-academic-research-says-11613396805which produced 301Location: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-new-york-stock-exchange-president-says-the-stock-market-is-not-a-casino-heres-what-academic-research-says-11613396805Which finally gives me a 200. The code I'm using is var req = new HTTPRequest(); req.follow_redirects=10; response = req.Get(url); writeln("RC: "+req.response_code); writeln("RS: "+req.response_status); writeln(response);and RC is giving me a 404 and can't figure why.

How are the URLs "producing" 301s if not via http.js? The description says it ends up with a 200, but then you say you get a 404... it's certainly not both.

When I run the script the output from the section above is:Working on http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B0F3C2883-C89D-472A-9721-7859431504DF%7D&siteid=rss&rss=1RC: 404RS: undefinedSo, you tell me. If I manually go through the redirects, I get to the right place. If I use my script that eventually uses http.js then I get a 404.

So how are you getting 301s? How are you "manually" going through the requests?

So, a bit of feedback... in the description, tell us what is happening. If you want to add colour, make it clear what you're actually doing.Also, it would be nice if when you include a script it is complete, works, and shows the problem (ie: load http.js and sets the url).
