Mechanize users - Mar 2007 - bad URI problem when submitting a form

Hi all, 

 I''ve a problem when submitting a form : the URL seems to be invalid. I
really
don''t see the way I should try to solve that problem. I searched on the
web,
but didn''t found any kind of that problem.

 Here is the code :



require ''mechanize''

agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
page =
agent.get(''http://www.voyages-sncf.com/leisure/fr/launch/home/'')

# the form isn''t on the main page, and it''s necessary to
follow that
# link to get a session on the site (local cookie)
link = page.links.text("train")
page = agent.click(link)

form = page.forms.first
# filling the form
form.ORIGIN_CITY = "paris"
form.DESTINATION_CITY = "lille"

# submit
page = agent.submit(form, form.buttons.first)




 Thanks,
Bruno Duy?

You didn''t mention the error or however the problem presented itself.  
Care to share? :)

 I''m sorry for that; but it''s the fisrt program I plan to do
in Ruby. I like
Runy so much and really wanted to do that GPL software for mounths that I 
can''t let it down now.

Ah.  Looks as if you have html entities that are not being decoded
before the form is submitted.  This is definitely a bug.  I will fix
this for the next release, but in the mean time you can decode the
form action before the form posts.  Just use the htmlentities gem:

  http://rubyforge.org/projects/htmlentities/

Sorry about this, I will get it fixed quickily!

Ok, thanks for reply. I''ll try to decode the form action using
htmlentities.
When do you think the next release will be able ?

 Thanks very much.
