Mechanize users - Jul 2008 - custom http headers in form.submit / upload without original form

Heyas :)

I''m wondering how do I do to send my custom HTTP headers when posting
a form. agent.set_headers is a private method and I don''t know how to
get a reference to HTTPHeaders to use add_field and such.
Since my request is a form, I''m sending it using agent.submit(form).
Any hints?

Bonus question: I would like to upload a file to a REST webservice,
but I haven''t found the way to do it without first creating a Hpricot
form node which IMHO doesn''t makes much sense :)

thanks in advance!

The most recent version of mechanize should support this by just  
putting a File object in your post parameters.  See:

http://github.com/schapht/mechaflickr/tree/master/lib/mechaflickr.rb#L75

For an example.
