Hi All, I *think* it's ddply because the function recognizes vr1, etc, in other parts of the function. Here's some code: # create dataset PROV.PM.FBCTS <- c(0.00 ,0.00, 33205.19, 25994.56, 23351.37, 26959.56 ,27632.58, 26076.24, 0.00, 0.00 , 6741.42, 18665.09 ,18129.59 ,21468.39 ,21294.60 ,22764.82, 26076.73) FBCTS.INV.TOT <- c(0 , 0, 958612, 487990, 413344, 573347,

Hi. Recently I started rebuilding my old Mechanize script, which I used to automatically log in to a certain site and retrieve files from it. Old version worked great, however, when I did the update it started complaining. Here''s the log of the error: /Users/lukastolyarov/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mechanize-1.0.0/lib/mechanize/form/field.rb:30:in `<=>'': undefined method

Hi This may be a dumb question with an obvious answer. It would seem that an input form field identified with an ''id'' qualifier and not with a ''name'' qualifier is not recognised by Mechanize - at least it isn''t in the form field list. Is there any way of getting at these elements or am I, as I suspect, fresh out of luck. But you never know ...

Hi, This is my first post, I wanted to ask a quick question about "Bad Form" -- rather, am I doing something with Mechanise I shouldn''t be doing? Here''s the long and short of it - I am using Mechanize with Cucumber and RSpec to test a *ahem* Perl XML web service.. talk about technology soup, but I have it working quite well. I have an example project on GitHub that

Hi everyone! Im trying to install mechanizer from http://github.com/tenderlove/mechanize. I`ve clone the project into /tmp folder. When I do rake inside the folder /tmp/mechanizer it gives me this error: mac159180:mechanize renatosis$ rake (in /private/tmp/mechanize) /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -w -Ilib:bin:test:. -e ''require "rubygems";

I poked around the web a little and didn''t run across how to use https when it asks for certificate validation. I''m trying to connect to devices that don''t have valid certificates, and in this case, I don''t care if they are or not. So when I use my browser to ge to the site, firefox asks me to allow the certificate, then one other question, then I get the

Try to use firebug to assist you finding these changes. I never used AT&T website, but you may need to login and find the download url using firebug as I did: http://zenmachine.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/scraping-with-firebug-and-wwwmechanize/ regards, gm On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 4:12 PM, <mechanize-users-request at rubyforge.org>wrote: > Send Mechanize-users mailing list submissions

hi, a potential mechanize user here. i''ve looked at the API but it''s not clear what capacity there is to arbitrarily set the headers - does mechanize allow for this? mechanize is clearly great for web browsing, but i also need to construct get and post requests from scratch. i''ve looked at net:http, libcurl, openuri, but mechanize seems simpler and more functional than

hey guys, i cant seem to mechanize.get('' http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P230234''), it errors out as: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mechanize-0.9.2/lib/www/mechanize/chain/response_header_handler.rb:32:in `handle'': invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError) from

I''m working through an idea for a db-backed cache for Mechanize#get(). The idea is to use a Mechanize::Agent#post_connect_hook to cached any fetch data, and create a subclass of Mechanize::Agent#get() that checks the cache before calling super. I want to store the un-parsed (raw) page in the db, and call Mechanize#parse when there''s a cache hit, something along these lines:

Hello, Below I''ve pasted a simple example to reproduce what I say in the subject. I wonder... Is it a bug? Is there any workaround? Thanks! require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = Mechanize.new page = agent.get(''http://google.com/'') google_form = page.form(''f'') google_form.q = ''ruby

Also, excuse me if my issue is a little bit application-specific. I need Mechanize to submit bunch of data from our server to an online reservation system. The url ishttp://hajres.iranair.com/haj/request.php" It works in my browser however, using mechanize following error appears: >> agent.get("http://hajres.iranair.com/haj/request.php") Net::HTTP::Get: /haj/request.php

Hi there Does anyone know if Amazon.com has any sort of server side script that tries to block scraping activities? I first noticed that if I didn?t change the agent alias, it would fetch a page exactly like the normal one, but without the intial search field(maybe a silly way to prevent scraping). Then after it, I changed to some other alias, and submit a search. I got the result page as

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
