Google now answers with HTTP 302 which metagoofil 2.2 does not follow yet

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. default run of metagoofil taken from help screen

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected:  lots of results from apple.com
instead:   0 results, due to HTTP 302 from google

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.2

Please provide any additional information below.

I solved it by inserting following code in line 28 of discovery/googlesearch.py:

                if returncode == 302:
                        h = httplib.HTTP(self.server)
                        h.putrequest('GET', headers.getheader('Location')[20:])
                        h.putheader('Host', self.hostname)
                        h.putheader('User-agent', self.userAgent)
                        h.endheaders()
                        returncode, returnmsg, headers = h.getreply()

best regards &

many thanks to author for this great piece of software!

This didn't worked in my case. Can you recheck if your fix is still working?

Thanks in advance.

The fix doesn't work anymore because they shifted the redirection from HTTP 
header to javascript logic. Seems that they don't like to be queried this way :(
