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.

Even in the script everything works well until the

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 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, I am using mechanize for a while now. Works great. But at the moment I have a small problem using it. The problematic file is attached.

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?

It is

Hello, I''m interested in grabbing the final uri of a given uri after any redirects without retrieving the response body of this final uri. For example, if uri1 redirects to uri2, which in turn redirects to uri3, I''d like to just grab the response header of uri3. I know that I can get the full response (header and body) by doing Mechanize.new.get(uri1).uri, but again,

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?

Greetings, I''m reporting on what I found after trying to use mechanize on a site like www.tellme.com.

However, when I upgraded to 0.6.6 or 0.6.7, mechanize simply ground to a halt after a while. I''m not sure where the problem lies, but after looking at the
