Hi, today I did a yum upgrade and see that there was 193 packages to update and 3 packages to install... I always upgraded my server (with yum) on a weekly basis so I don't undestand how it is possible to have a so big update. Is there something wrong with my yum setup ? A mix between different versions of CentOS ? I'm running CentOS 4 i386 Thank you

Hi. Recently I started rebuilding my old Mechanize script, which I used to automatically log in to a certain site and retrieve files from it. Old version worked great, however, when I did the update it started complaining. Here''s the log of the error: /Users/lukastolyarov/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/mechanize-1.0.0/lib/mechanize/form/field.rb:30:in `<=>'': undefined method

Hi everyone! Im trying to install mechanizer from http://github.com/tenderlove/mechanize. I`ve clone the project into /tmp folder. When I do rake inside the folder /tmp/mechanizer it gives me this error: mac159180:mechanize renatosis$ rake (in /private/tmp/mechanize) /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby -w -Ilib:bin:test:. -e ''require "rubygems";

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

I''m 99% certain that this is what''s being discussed in https://github.com/tenderlove/mechanize/issues/168 But I''m not sure what the remedy is. My production app is running on Heroku, so I need a fix that I can push there. Can someone post instructions that this neophyte can follow? (I gather I''m supposed to fork and add the current master version from

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:

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

Hi all, I''ve been using mechanize for a while and it rocks. Docs are pretty clear and so far I''ve been able to do it on my own. However, I''m stuck in a weird situation in a script to download my contact list from hotmail. I''ve used Firebug to check all urls, and tested it by hand while logged in via browser. Even in the script everything works well until the

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''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...

Hello I am trying to fill in a form using WWW::Mechanize. I can fill in 2 of the 3 fields but one is giving me a problem. The name of this field is "name" when I use the following bit of code, it seems to change the name of the form, not the value of the field. The part of original page after pretty printing {forms #<WWW::Mechanize::Form {name "wp_pers_form"}

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
