I''m working through an idea for a db-backed cache for Mechanize#get(). The idea is to use a Mechanize::Agent#post_connect_hook to cached any fetch data, and create a subclass of Mechanize::Agent#get() that checks the cache before calling super. I want to store the un-parsed (raw) page in the db, and call Mechanize#parse when there''s a cache hit, something along these lines:

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: =

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

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

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)

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

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

This post from Aaron Patterson back in 2009 seems to be pretty definite about how to use Mechanize in a thread-safe way, but I thought I would revisit the question because there are several posts on StackOverflow since then that would seem to contradict it (of course, I trust Aaron''s answer more than random answers on StackOverlfow, but just in case I thought I would confirm it). It is

Hi, I''m getting a "Could not open any of [xml2, xslt, exslt] (LoadError)" error when trying to run a simple Ruby program taken from the EXAMPLES.rdoc file of the Mechanize gem. The error is in this line of the Nokogiri module of libxml.rb: ffi_lib ''xml2'', ''xslt'', ''exslt'' Not sure if there are missing gems, and if so,

Hi all, Has anyone successfully used WWW::Mechanize with file_column? I''m trying to upload a bunch of images to a custom controller, and something''s going wrong with the parameter names. Using a noddy controller :create action that looks like this: def create render :text => params.inspect end I get this result from a manual upload from a form:

Hi, I am trying to save a Mechanize object in database (using a Rails Model).

Hi, Thought this might be of interest story writers. The mechanize plugin seems to play nice with RSpec. The following mix of methods seems to work just fine. I especially like the helpers for populating forms. agent = WWW::Mechanize.new page = agent.get ''http://www.gmail.com'' page.should have_tag(''form'', :count => 1) form = page.forms.first form.email =

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 all I am working on a heavy engineering project. And the requirement is that I needto do a lot of process before I store the data to the db. Now the question is that I want to do the process that I am doing but I want to do it in the background. What I actually mean to say is that..I just want the user to get a msg that Records Saved. But in real I want the process to go on in background.

Explicitly re-adding a node to be processed doesn't work, because the processing order is canonical. 2017-05-22 11:39 GMT-07:00 Nirav Davé <niravd at google.com>: > You can always explicitly add D to the worklist when you make the > transformation with AddToWorklist.
