Hello, I am on a page that lists 78 items and can only show 25 per page, so there are links for each page of results and a "Next >" link. I''d like to get Mechanize to follow the Next link but the link looks like this: <a class=''searchlinks'' href=''javascript:lnkclick(2);''>Next ></a> If I try to "click" the link,

I noticed an interesting problem today when scripting against a web app. The application contained a link in it that used %20 instead of spaces. After running mechanize through the Charles debugging proxy I found that mechanize was converting %20 to %2520 (double escaping the %20). This appears to happen under both 0.5.4 and 0.6.0. Here''s a simple set of files that demonstrate

Hello, I have a login form on /login.php which POSTs to /dorf1.php when access is granted and to /login.php when it is denied. require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW:Mechanize.new() login = agent.get("http://server/login.php") form = login.forms.action("dorf1.php") form.fields[2].value = "wronguser" # login

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.

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.

Hi, I am trying to compile the R-dev version on a unix Suse machine and got errors. Would someone be able to help me determine what to do to fix these errors: make[1]: Entering directory `/lustre/people/schaffer/R-devel/m4' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `R'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/lustre/people/schaffer/R-devel/m4' make[1]: Entering directory

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

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)

Try to use firebug to assist you finding these changes. I never used AT&T website, but you may need to login and find the download url using firebug as I did: http://zenmachine.wordpress.com/2007/11/11/scraping-with-firebug-and-wwwmechanize/ regards, gm On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 4:12 PM, <mechanize-users-request at rubyforge.org>wrote: > Send Mechanize-users mailing list submissions

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.

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, Mat -------------- next part -------------- A non-text

Hi, I''m interested in using Mechanize as a way around manual multipart form creation. But the API is really centered around the idea of a form built from a page. I''d love to see a syntax like: response = agent.post(''http://www.mydomain.com/upload'', :image => File.new(file), :title => "My image", :description => "an image

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 agent.submit(form)

I am looking for a way to do multiresponse parameter estimation for a problem that is quite similar in form to the alpha-pinene example in Bates and Watts (1988), p. 147, where the model is a set of ODEs. I am specifically interested in obtaining the parameter covariance matrix, as well. Which package(s) in R would I use to do such a thing? Mark Schaffer Dept. of Chemical Engineering

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. -Mat [1] http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/

Hello all, I was just wondering if anybody knew whether mechanize is supposed to be thread-safe or not? I didn''t really find any information about it anywhere. I''ve been getting a strange error in protocol.rb when I run a script that uses mechanize in a multi threaded fashion, but not with a single thread. I''m trying to write a spider that does multiple gets in

Hi, I need to convert numbers to characters in order to index an array when I encountered the number 100000 which turned into "1e+05". Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Hi, I am using this subset statement and it works outside a function. LIS[[i]]<- lapply(LI, subset, select=cov[[i]]) However, wrapped inside a function this statement produces the same values for every LIS[[1]] which is only the first subset of LI. Does anyone know why is not working correctly inside a function? ff = factor(covariate) nLev <- nlevels(ff) cov <-

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) }
