...objects, which should give everyone a slight speed increase but makes watch_for_set obsolete (sort of). I''m changing around the class names to be better organized, but they should all have the same methods.

Hey Aaron, I''m just thinking out loud here, but have you considered the possibility of using the Rhino [1] library to implement javascript support in mechanize? It''d create a jruby dependency for that feature, but still. Just thought I''d bring it up while I was thinking about it. -Mat [1] http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/

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

Hey, We hit a bug today because Arel::Visitors::ToSql is not threadsafe. Here is what is happening: Arel::Visitors::ENGINE_VISITORS is a cache of visitors instances. These instances are not inherently threadsafe because it contains state ''@last_column'', ''@connection'' that is shared between threads. The other variables ''@pool'',

In the process of upgrading from 1.8 to 1.9 we are getting a lot of warnings about "Ruby 1.9 doesn''t support Unicode normalization yet". However the commit that added those lines is from 2008 and just mentions "Ruby 1.9 compat: no Unicode normalization support yet" without any references. Does anyone know whether this is still true for ruby 1.9 and for which minor

Hello I am trying to fill in a form using WWW::Mechanize. I can fill in 2 of the 3 fields but one is giving me a problem. The name of this field is "name" when I use the following bit of code, it seems to change the name of the form, not the value of the field. The part of original page after pretty printing {forms #<WWW::Mechanize::Form {name "wp_pers_form"}

Hi, I''m working to scrape and save some ebooks. Mechanize has been wonderful so far. The link I''m having trouble with is this one. http://www.webscription.net/SendZip.aspx?SKU=0671578499&ProductID=379&format=H When I click that in the browser it saves it to a file named H_1632.zip. How do I get that name from the page. I suspect to save this to a file I would just do

I found an interesting page today that I was trying to script against. The server returns a 404 with content and the page just works normally in firefox despite the 404. Mechanize raises an exception on it though. I''m working on a test case now.

Hello, Arel::SelectManager (arel 2.0.9) uses following statement to insert a new record: @engine.connection.insert im.to_sql, ''AREL'', primary_key_name, primary_key_value But in DatabaseStatements insert ist defined as: insert(sql, name = nil, pk = nil, id_value = nil, sequence_name = nil) Actually, Arel::SelectManager does not use the sequence name. This leads to issues

Hello to the list and thanks to Aaron for the cool software. I''ve been fooling around with Mechanize and Hpricot for a couple of days and from the docs I''ve read, the following code SHOULD work but doesn''t. I''ve tried the same code on a couple of different sites and I get the same exception for each. Any pointers or suggestions are appreciated.

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

Hi, I''m using Mechanize, and I''ve developed a lot of code around it. I''d like to be able to check the Etag header during a get to see if the page has changed, as well as some other http header information. Can I do that without hacking Mechanize myself? Does anyone have any examples of how to do this? William

version 0.62 I''ve got a form that''s giving me trouble (server reports invalid session ID). Unfortunately, the form is submitted using SSL so I can''t use a sniffer to see the differences between the ruby mechanize version and the perl mechanize version that is working. Is there a way to change the form action within mechanize? Or a way to display the request headers?
