similar to: settings headers in mechanize

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)

Hey all, Found a email thread from Jan 2007 discussing the inability to set request headers (like ETag and If-Modified-Since) through the API, and this is something that''s bothering me a bit. Currently the "way" to do this is to subclass Mechanize and override set_headers(). That seems fine for headers that you''d like to send in every request or for classes of request,

mechanize version 0.6.6 has been released! http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/ The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites. Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects, can follow links, and submit forms. Form fields can be populated and submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have visited as a history. Changes: =

Hi all, I''ve been using mechanize for a while and it rocks. Docs are pretty clear and so far I''ve been able to do it on my own. However, I''m stuck in a weird situation in a script to download my contact list from hotmail. I''ve used Firebug to check all urls, and tested it by hand while logged in via browser. Even in the script everything works well until the

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

I have a site that I don''t think "returns" a basic_auth request, but is able to use basic_auth. In the past on 0.6.8, I could use the following code: require ''rubygems'' # gem ''mechanize'', ''=0.6.8'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new agent.basic_auth("username", "password")

Hi... Here''s a working Perl script that I want to be able to do in Ruby: use WWW::Mechanize; my $url = "http://host/tt?name=chris"; my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(); $mech->add_header( Referer => "http://chrismcmahonsblog.blogspot.com" ); $mech->add_header( Cookie => "messageid=170118; memberid=1007"); $mech->get($url) so the header

Heyas :) I''m wondering how do I do to send my custom HTTP headers when posting a form. agent.set_headers is a private method and I don''t know how to get a reference to HTTPHeaders to use add_field and such. Since my request is a form, I''m sending it using agent.submit(form). Any hints? Bonus question: I would like to upload a file to a REST webservice, but I

Hello, I''m having trouble using mechanise to post a form. I took a wireshark capture of the form being submitted by firefox and by mechanise. In both there is an HTTP Post and then a ''continuation of non-http traffic'' packet. The obvious difference is that the firefox continuation packet has some http metadata (I don''t know the proper terminology) where the

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

Hi all, I''ve got an issue that only ever appears in production mode. I''ve got my app hooked up to amazon''s web service (ECS, using ruby/amazon from http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon.shtml). In the dev environment, everything''s peachy. But in production mode, after I''ve left the app up for a couple of hours (sometimes, minutes), I get an

For some time now I try to get my code working. This Monday I switched to RJS (first with 1.0 + plugin) and yesterday to Edge Rails, so I guess I''ve been using the most recent version. I have a div with id="detail" which I want to update with a partial. If I''m using page.replace_html the content will be replaced with text, i.e. the javascript won''t become

Hi, I am using standard Ruby library openURI to capture the HTML code from other pages. The problem openURI does not work for capturing pages from the same rails application. Here is the code: class CdCreatorController < ApplicationController require ''open-uri'' def generate lines = [] file = open("http://127.0.0.1:3001/cd_creator/product/1"){ |f|

Trying to submit a form is resulting in the following error: >> page = agent.submit(f, f.buttons.first) query: "action=start&quick=Y&clientApp=0&clientID=MCO" Net::HTTP::Post: /dealerApply/controller.jsp using cookie: JSESSIONID=GJ4NCvGJDTlrvrKsLw17hZ3FnlXFdVkvB5hh1jLkHKcH4Tn27371!-538794652 request-header: accept-language => en-us,en;q0.5 request-header: connection

> It seems that a RPC call fails because rquotas are not supported on > 'homesvr'. But dovecots quota-fs requires them for remote storage. > Yes, my homesvr does not support RPC rquotas. Acutally I really don't want Dovecot to handle quota on my home directory, I only want Dovecot to hand quota on /var/mail. That's why I put "noenforcing" in configuration

Now that we have the big Rails 2.0 release out the door, it''s a lot easier to push out smaller updates more frequently. So that''s what we''re going to do. Rails 2.0.2 contains a bunch of smaller fixes to various bugs, no show-stopping action, just further polish. But it also contains a few new defaults:

Hi Everyone, This is a small release that fixes a little bug, some of the documentation, and adds the new RedirectHandler code and a @redirect@ call for the mongrel.conf files. It''s fresh so don''t rely on it. Everyone should upgrade with the usual *gem update* command (which tells you it''s "Upgrading...") and tell me how it works. This release fixes: * The

Is it possible to stub a Kernel method? I''m specifically interested in the ''open'' method to test some code using open-uri. I''ve tried: Kernel.should_receive(:open).with(''filename'').and_return(''data'') However, this doesn''t seem to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. --Paul

Ok, So I followed the directions.. I did a ''gem install markaby'' (which sounds like its enough to get me going for rails), but I wasn''t sure, so I tried to install the plugin as well. Plugin installation fails looking for a file: Script/plugin install http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/trunk Outputs this error: + ./trunk/svnindex.xsl

Hello all, I get this intermittent error saying OpenURI::HTTPError. At the bottom of the email is what is reported in my backgroundrb_server_<port>.log file. The process_netflix_reviews method is parsing (in the background) Netflix''s RSS feeds. This error also pretty much brings down the BDRb process and to recover, I am forced to do a ./script/backgroundrb stop
