Hi, I am trying to save a Mechanize object in database (using a Rails Model). But the save operation throws a TypeError Considering that "agent" is an instance of a Rails Model and "user" is defined as a "text" type in the Model. irb(main):039:0> agent.user = WWW::Mechanize.new #<WWW::Mechanize:0xb71295f0 @follow_meta_refresh=false, @key=nil,

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

Greetings, I''m using Mechanize to scrap dozens of pages and have noticed the size of my ruby process keeps growing. I set Mechanize.max_history to 0 with no effect on the memory use. I wrote a little test to show the objects left on the heap after mechanizing a single page and then doing a garbage collection. Sample list appended below. I can supply the test code if it helps.

Hi, folks. I''m investigating libraries to use in a rather specialized feed reader. Some of the sites I want to follow don''t have RSS feeds (or have hopelessly broken feeds) so I was already planning on using Hpricot anyway -- Mechanize is looking good, here. In my research for my project, recipe 11.16 in O''Reilly''s Ruby Cookbook references a website[1]

Hi everyone, My quest with mechanize/Hpricot continues :) Something extremely strange happened today - some simple working code broke down, and i can''t figure out why. I am trying to access a piratebay.org search page, which does a redirect to a relative url like this: original link: http://thepiratebay.org/s/?page=0&orderby=3&q=football+manager+2008&searchTitle=on redirects

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,

I have a Watir script that I would like to convert to a Mechanize script. The watir code looks like this require ''watir'' include Watir def test ie = IE.new ie.goto(''http://cpref.gsm.com/inter.asp?r=8084'') ie.text_field(:name, ''inter_string'').set(''Potassium'') ie.button(:id, ''image1'').click

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.

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

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

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}

I knew that hpricot was a dependency, but hoe and rubyforge....is this right? Version 0.6.9 for ruby Mike B. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

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.
