Yahoo Pipes: Can I get a real URL from feedproxy.google.com?

Question

Using Yahoo Pipes, is it possible to poll this URL http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/P-_qWQXyAPU/
and get a real url http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12 / 08 / build-it-with-me is
back in the pipe?

Ideally, the solution would be general enough to poll any URL and get its “real” URL. I think this is possible with YQL, but I'm not sure.

Answer 1

Just for completeness, I thought I would contact the answer you received on YDN:

y.rest() , followRedirects (false):

use 'http://javarants.com/yql/javascript.xml'as j; select * from j where code='response.object =
y.rest("http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/P-%5FqWQXyAPU/").followRedirects(false).get().headers.location;'
