Hi, I tried to do the same thing using Ruby. Not the one liner though. Its a piece of code. It worked great initially as I was able to extract value of 't' from the redirected url.

But now, after a few day, the script stops working. I investigated and found out that the redirected url which initially held the value of 't' does not contain the value of 't' anymore and hence the regex that was used to retrieve it was fetching nil.

How to go about it now? As value of t is unknown. (Or atleast I could not figure out a way to find it out)
