Mechanize users - Aug 2012 - Handling HTTP 500 errors

Hey guys,

How do you handle HTTP 500 errors with Mechanize?

After researching the web I thought something like this would work:

  begin
    Mechanize.new.get(url_which_returns_500)
  rescue Net::HTTPInternalServerError
    puts "Life is awesome. Let''s move on"
  end

Anyways, the code in the rescue block will never be executed.

Can you guys help me out?

Kenny

Mechanize::ResponseCodeError will be raised on a 500. 

It has #code and #page attributes so you can inspect what went wrong, or switch
off specific response codes.
