similar to: issue submitting a form

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";

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

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. The error is in this line of the Nokogiri module of libxml.rb: ffi_lib ''xml2'', ''xslt'', ''exslt'' Not sure if there are missing gems, and if so,

So I found myself wanting to call Mechanize#get with a hash for arguments like this: WWW::Mechanize.new(''http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/'', {:method => ''flickr.auth.getFrob''... }) Granted, it looks like this isn''t supported but it led me to what looks like a bug. Namely that get calls fetch_page(abs_uri, request, cur_page, &block)

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 ...

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, 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 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

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. I read the earlier discussion of the issue that mentioned how cookie values were being improperly dequoted when stored. But I thought that issue was fixed.

I can run this code just fine in irb, but when I run it in rails script/console, I get an error: >> res = agent.submit(search_form, search_form.buttons.first) ArgumentError: one hash required from /home/jwoods/NetBeansProjects/activista/vendor/rails/ actionmailer/lib/../../actionpack/lib/../../activesupport/lib/ active_support/core_ext/string/interpolation.rb:85:in `%''

I''ve been trying to get a couple of web automation tools going today and having a hard time. Seems like everything I try is outdated and won''t run on my environment. Mechanize seemed like a good one but it doesn''t want to run: require ''rubygems'' require ''open-uri'' require ''mechanize'' agent = Mechanize.new

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. Works as a model, but I get load errors when I am using the model from a
