The problem: users trying to debug Mechanize apps with Komodo are finding the debugger times out once it''s loaded a web page. They don''t run into this in the ruby-debug debugger, or running in normal mode. The reason: Komodo''s debugger is graphical, which means that whenever it hits a breakpoint it automatically shows the contents of each local variable. It has a

Hi there Does anyone know if Amazon.com has any sort of server side script that tries to block scraping activities? I first noticed that if I didn?t change the agent alias, it would fetch a page exactly like the normal one, but without the intial search field(maybe a silly way to prevent scraping). Then after it, I changed to some other alias, and submit a search. I got the result page as

Hello. I have run into a new form that contains multiple submit buttons.

disclaimer: Im not a developer, in fact I know very little of Ruby. I had this script made for me by Endax, LLC. I have run into problems with the script and they are unable/unwilling to help resolve the issue.

Hello all, Yet another "don''t reinvent the wheel" n00b question: Is there an ''official'' page hit counter plugin/code snippet/whatever? I would need something like this: - It is possibility to set a constant timespan (say 5 hours). - On every page hit, save away @request.remote_ip and Time.new - The counter gets incremented only if the same IP was here

To clarify the issue I posted earlier: I am on OS X 10.6.7. Trying to use Mechanize to log in to LinkedIn. As others have posted about in the past, when I submit the form it kicks me back to the LinkedIn landing page, and does not log me in. I read the earlier discussion of the issue that mentioned how cookie values were being improperly dequoted when stored. But I thought that issue was fixed.

Hello all, Maybe the $subj is a little bit weird (i.e. apples vs oranges) but it is a situation i am facing at the moment: We are developing a small web site which will be mostly a CMS (more or less) and my colleagues is arguing for drupal, and i am for RoR.

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

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}
