Basic_auth questions
How do you make get the page when using basic_auth? Below is code, I am
getting a 401 error. I am not sure if the basic _auth comes before the
agent.get. I will appreciate any help.
require ''mechanize''
require ''logger''
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new {|a| a.log = Logger.new(STDERR) }
page = agent.get(''https://brewx.qualcomm.com/developer'' )

settings headers in mechanize
hi,
a potential mechanize user here. i''ve looked at the API but it''s not
clear what capacity there is to arbitrarily set the headers - does
mechanize allow for this?
mechanize is clearly great for web browsing, but i also need to
construct get and post requests from scratch. i''ve looked at
net:http, libcurl, openuri, but mechanize seems simpler and more
functional than

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.

Signin to LinkedIn
Hi,
Does anyone have the formula for getting logged into LinkedIn?
Here''s my current attempt:
require ''rubygems''
require ''mechanize''
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
home_page = agent.get(''http://www.linkedin.com'')
signin_page = agent.click home_page.links.text(''Sign in'')

form submit debugging
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?

Help accessing http headers?
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?

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

Road to 0.7.0
Hey everyone,
I''ve been refactoring Mechanize for an 0.7.0 release. Basically I''m
trying to clean the code up and there are a few features that I think
are unnecessary, but I would like to ask people first.
1) REXML as a parser.
I want to remove support for REXML. I don''t use it. Hpricot seems to
do everything I need.
2) 1.8.2 thru 1.8.4 support

Mechanize#get vs Mechanize#fetch_page
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)

Scraping and saving.
Hi,
I''m working to scrape and save some ebooks. Mechanize has been
wonderful so far. The link I''m having trouble with is this one.
http://www.webscription.net/SendZip.aspx?SKU=0671578499&ProductID=379&format=H
When I click that in the browser it saves it to a file named
H_1632.zip. How do I get that name from the page. I suspect to save
this to a file I would just do

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.

Setting form-values
Hi,
I''ve recently had some trouble setting form values in my code - for example:
require ''rubygems''
require ''mechanize''
def save(pagename, content, editsummary = '''')
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
agent.user_agent = ''Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)''

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.

Basic auth bug in 0.6.9
I haven''t spent the time to get a proper test case for this yet, but
there appears to be a bug in the basic_auth code for mechanize
0.6.9. I''ve attached a CSV (from Charles) that illustrates the problem.
Basically when running with basic_auth, there''s a failed request
that''s followed up by a successful request. That last POST is a

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

[PATCH] Get requests with non-html referers
Hey, Aaron. Looks like that get with hash params patch you checked in
had some side effects. Specifically, you''re testing if a referer is a
Page (mechanize.rb:171), but the referer could also be a
WWW::Mechanize::File. Like if the last page loaded was xml. Here''s a
patch that addresses the issue.
Thanks again,

Intercepting an onClick file download
Hi,
I''m having some trouble downloading a .csv file from a particular
website. The file isn''t part of a url, you need to click on a link in
order to get the file sent. I don''t know how to get mechanize to
correctly identify that.
Here is the link to the file I''m trying to retrieve:

Post problems
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
