similar to: BUG: Possible issue with escaped hrefs

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.

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

Also, excuse me if my issue is a little bit application-specific. I need Mechanize to submit bunch of data from our server to an online reservation system. The url ishttp://hajres.iranair.com/haj/request.php" It works in my browser however, using mechanize following error appears: >> agent.get("http://hajres.iranair.com/haj/request.php") Net::HTTP::Get: /haj/request.php

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)

I have a site that I don''t think "returns" a basic_auth request, but is able to use basic_auth. In the past on 0.6.8, I could use the following code: require ''rubygems'' # gem ''mechanize'', ''=0.6.8'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new agent.basic_auth("username", "password")

Hello, when trying to access a certain HTML-frame, I get: "in `request'': Unhandled response (WWW::Mechanize::ResponseCodeError)" and the page returns: "400 Bad Request" * Why? * How to solve this? With browser, it works. In the logs below, I marked 4 lines with "***", where I see possible differences in the URI. But I don''t know, if this is

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 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.

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

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.

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

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/

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) }

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

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: <td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center;">

Hey guys, How do you handle HTTP 500 errors with Mechanize? After researching the web I thought something like this would work: begin Mechanize.new.get(url_which_returns_500) rescue Net::HTTPInternalServerError puts "Life is awesome. Let''s move on" end Anyways, the code in the rescue block will never be executed. Can you guys help me out? Kenny

Hello, I am assembling my first cool algorithms with mechanize and I came across this weird situation. I am trying to get this uri "http://www.relax.si/kratke po?itnice.aspx" like this (with url encoded uri): agent.get("http://relax.si/kratke%20po%u010Ditnice.aspx") and in return I get: WWW::Mechanize::ResponseCodeError: 400 => Net::HTTPBadRequest from

Hi Facebookers, I have been working on a change to facebooker to allow facebook and non-facebook apps to exist on the same code-base. I modified the url rewriting in facebooker a bit so that it would continue to use the facebook relative url when needed but not prepend the facebook app name to controller paths that didn''t have anything to do with your facebook app. Here is the
