issues submitting a search form
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.

Getting elements from a web page
I am new to Mechanize and was wondering if there was a built-in method
to get the elements that are on the page that are not part of a form.
A couple of examples would be my banking site lists my entries and I
want them to go into an array so that I can handle them.
Or another site I use, does some categorization for me and I would like
to manipulate it and present it differently to a user.

a history.

Adding fields to a form
Is there a decent way to add a field to a form before posting it? I
haven''t tried using HPricot manipulations just yet, since I can''t
ever find really solid docs on hpricot....
Form#[]= doesn''t work because it first searches only pre-existing
fields. I''m investigating how to write a patch now.
But I thought maybe someone here might have an idea.

https with certificates
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

Single method call to retrieve the entire page in HTML?
All,
Another easy question. In Hpricot, on a doc that I am using, I can do a
.to_html method and retrieve the entire page. However, this doesn''t seem to
work in Mechanize.
My goal is to the text of the page and put it into a database to make it
searchable with ferret (using the acts_as_ferret plugin in Rails). Does
anyone have a good suggestion short of iterating over the entire

Response To Form Submission Hanging
Hello,
I am using Mechanize to post a form to a website. When I do this by
hand in my browser the response takes about 35s to come back (it''s a
long page full of tables and graphics). When I do this with
Mechanize, the server starts to respond and then appears to hang.
The obvious conclusion is that my code is wrong but I am reasonably
sure that I haven''t altered it

Clicking image maps?
Hello all,
I am trying to click image maps ("area" nodes), and while Perl''s
mechanize treats "a", "area", "frame", "iframe" and "meta" tags as
links, it seems to me that Ruby''s Mechanize thinks only "a" tags can be
links (at least my little experiment, namely:
page.links.each {|link| puts link.node.name}

Selecting Links with their parent class attribute?

Trying to figure out a quick way to do something. I have a yahoo groups
list, and it has listings that look like this:
</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" class="ygrp-g">
<span class="ygrp-nowrap">

Design ideas
I''m trying to use mechanize against a site that has four fields in the
form. However, those four fields have to be filled in order.
So putting something in field one, populates the second field drop down.
So I''m thinking that I''ll probably have to call the page multiple times?
What sort of things should I be doing to figure out how to interact
with this page.

Quick and Easy Question
All,
Been a while since I''ve "mechanized" and I''m running into an idiot simple
problem. I''m looking for more detailed examples to refresh my memory.
My question is how to get a list of links off of a page based on information
in the img src attribute, specifically if the img tag contains a
"mp3.gif/jpg".
I, for the life of me, can''t seem

Jruby + Rhino = Javascript support?
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.

Interesting mechanize difficulty
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.
