HTTP redirect?
Hello all,
Im making a simple app that will fill out a login form to login to Yahoo! on their https://login.yahoo.com server. Then, I am trying to get it to redirect me to one of their game room servers. However, I keep getting a page that says, "your browser doesnt support redirects..." something along those lines. But if I open my browser and type in the proper link ( which I am trying to simulate using this app ) everything works.

The server always returns this Page:
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
window.location.replace("http://games.yahoo.com/games/ante?room=pool_aa");
// -->
</script>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://games.yahoo.com/games/ante?room=pool_aa">
</head>
<body>
If you are seeingthis page, your browser settings prevent you
from automatically redirecting to anew URL.
Please <a href="http://games.yahoo.com/games/ante?room=pool_aa">click here</a> to continue.
</body>
</html>
Any ideas to get the redirect?
