Hi, I''m getting a "Could not open any of [xml2, xslt, exslt] (LoadError)" error when trying to run a simple Ruby program taken from the EXAMPLES.rdoc file of the Mechanize gem.

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

I am trying to get a page which includes a form, but the form is missing from the WWW::Mechanize::Page object. I retrieve it via: page = web_agent.submit(a_different_form) For debugging this problem, I then immediately write the resulting page to two different logs: File.open(''big.html'',''wb'') { |f| f.write(page.body) }

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

Hi, I have a question about %in% and subsettin data frames. Say I need to keep ID 1,2,4,5, 10 from the data frame dat. I can do: dat <- data.frame(ID = 1:10, var = 1:10) someID <- c(1,2,4,5,10) subset(dat, dat$ID %in% someID) Is there a quick way to do the opposite, ie to do a subset that contains all ID but someID? Something like %not in%, which would *remove* lines with ID in

Hi, I''ve created a small patch to mechanize. The problem: The user should be able to set his own page encoding, for example when <meta /> encoding information can is invalid or auto detection routines fail to guess correctly. Actual results: Mechanize will use the encoding detected by it (or Nokogiri/libxml2) always when there''s a <meta /> with encoding information

Hi all, When using form_for it is easy to add an id to the form using :html => {:id => ''someid''} However, how would one accomplish the same when using the form_tag ?

I am using http.get in a model to parse html code returned from a Oracle server. My first try was to use assertions (assert and assert_select) to test and parse the html code. But I have problems including the methods in the model. Have tried both "include" and copy/paste to get assertion methods into my model.

I''ve had this idea kicking around in my head for a while, and had some time yesterday to start playing around with it: ActiveSupport is heavily used in both the Rails library code and in the application layer of a typical Rails stack. Certain parts of AS would be much more efficiently implemented in C rather than Ruby; that optimization could potentially have some noticeable, positive

To clarify the issue I posted earlier: I am on OS X 10.6.7. Trying to use Mechanize to log in to LinkedIn. As others have posted about in the past, when I submit the form it kicks me back to the LinkedIn landing page, and does not log me in.
