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''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:

Hi people: I have a winbind 3.2.5 running on a box to authenticate users in my squid. My PDC is a samba 3.0.24 and it stores users on ldap. I have aprox 500 users and when they all use the squid my winbind generates a lot of traffic to my pdc box causing high load on the smb process that talks to the winbind... killing the performance of the squid. Is there anyway to reduce this traffic? Why

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.
