Hi: I recently encountered a problem reading directories via an XP Pro client shared from a samba server (redhat's rpm samba-2.2.7-5.8.0). File listing was sometimes VERRRY slow.

(I dunno- like redirecting port 80 or something). >From the client,

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.
