hi guys, I''m trying to do a program that automates some site usage, like fetch the site, fill a field and "press" the send button. So, it''ll behave like a real browser. Is there a plugin out there ready to work ? Or, then, how can i make a simple browser, what''s the necessaries libraries ? Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I don''t know about the documentation, it wasn''t that good a while ago, but maybe they''ve improved it. Anyway, if you google around you will find some examples and things that will help you because it is pretty easy to use Hope it helps. [1]http://wiki.github.com/brynary/webrat -- Leonardo Mateo.
