There''s been some great stuff added to edge since 2.0.2. Any chance it might be wrapped up into a 2.1 release?

Hi all I am trying to set up capistrano and it is failing when it tries to call an svn command on the db server, where svn is not installed.

Hi , It comes to me that helper has some weaknesses: 1) It is hard to test . No easy way to write test code for it. (or Just i didn''t know?) 2) Not easy to reuse it on other controller/view/model. it looks like to that putting the helper code into a model (a fully helper model , or a mixed model) is good practice. However i agree that some html intensive

Hello, I am using Mechanize to post a form to a website. When I do this by hand in my browser the response takes about 35s to come back (it''s a long page full of tables and graphics). When I do this with Mechanize, the server starts to respond and then appears to hang. The obvious conclusion is that my code is wrong but I am reasonably sure that I haven''t altered it

mechanize version 0.6.6 has been released! http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/ The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites. Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects, can follow links, and submit forms. Form fields can be populated and submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have visited as a history. Changes: =

I have an index method with a respond_to block that produces this error: NoMethodError (You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.accepts): The show method has the same respond_to block but doesn''t error out. If I take the respond_to block out of the index method, it works. If I give index params[:keywords] I get this error:

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

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,

Hi, how to integrate Amazon product search into rails? I want to put some books on my site wih the amazon API. I found this: http://journal.gleepglop.com/articles/2005/06/06/amazon-on-rails but unfortunately the example code is 404ed and I am not quite sure if I understood everything. So I f there is some more rails + amazon info out there I would be happy if someone could point me there!

hi all. we''re using the ruby/amazon library (http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon.shtml), which totally rocks. but i''m noticing that when nobody has used our site in a while (it''s under development, so basically nobody uses it at night), the ruby/amazon calls sometimes fail. seems like something times out, perhaps. anybody have similar issues, or know what might be

Hi everyone, I am a bit confused with xhr? and respond_to.

Hi all, I am so excited to use mechanize!

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

I''ve been trying to track down the culprit of erratic behaviour and crashes on my production server (which is split into a number of Xen instances), so set up a staging server so that I could really try to get to the bottom of it. The staging server (also split with Xen) is set up pretty much identically as far as the mongrel_cluster server is concerned (the production box has two

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")

R Listers, One of the list contributors suggested I abandon attempts to build R-1.9.1 and focus on building R-2.3.1. I believe the main set of packages have been built properly (with some changes to the code) - however, when building the Recommended packages, the build fails. CODE CHANGES: ============= 1. My C compiler requires a ";" on line 589 of ..../src/main/printutils.c. Here
