[Mechanize-users] parsing a page from a string rather than from get()?
I''m pretty sure this is easy, but haven''t been able to figure
it out
from the docs or examples: If I already have an HTML page as a string,
can I ask Mechanize to parse it into a Mechanize::Page object?
As a contrived example:
>> page = agent.get("http://www.google.com)
=> #<Mechanize::Page ...>
>> raw_html = page.body
=> "<!doctype html><html
onmousemove=\"google&&google.fade ..."
Now: how can I ask Mechanize to parse raw_html back into a
Mechanize::Page structure?
Thanks in advance.

Mechanize::Page.new(nil,{''content-type''=>''text/html''},raw_html,200,Mechanize.new)
(For the last argument, you could also use the page''s mechanize object,
if
you still have it around. Actually, for all the arguments you could use the
page''s, if you still have it around.)
