similar to: Variation on my Mechanize MultiSelect Question

Hello. I have run into a new form that contains multiple submit buttons. Currently my code for working with forms looks just like this example. require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' a = WWW::Mechanize.new { |agent| agent.user_agent_alias = ''Mac Safari'' } a.get(''http://google.com/'') do |page|

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 everyone, My quest with mechanize/Hpricot continues :) Something extremely strange happened today - some simple working code broke down, and i can''t figure out why. I am trying to access a piratebay.org search page, which does a redirect to a relative url like this: original link: http://thepiratebay.org/s/?page=0&orderby=3&q=football+manager+2008&searchTitle=on redirects

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, I have a <form> page in which there are a number of dropdowns and multi-selects, each of which is populated upon the page loading by quering its own table with the most recent values. These other tables are very simple two-column set-ups - one for the ID/value and another for the verbose description. I am getting the editing/creation stuff working fine. The dropdowns work with a

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

Dear all, I keep grab photos from one website. At first I show them the default user agent (WWW-Mechanize). But obviously they don''t like this behavior and ban the user agent WWW-Mechanize. So I have to forge an IE user agent. It works for some time. But the website administrator seemed to detect my behavior and banned me again. This time I can not bypass it by simply modifying the user

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

Hey, how to get captcha image with mechanize ? the image is not a static picture, it''s a stream, a text-model. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mechanize-users/attachments/20110118/bf9a58ff/attachment.html>

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''ve got a little test script that just sleeps, calls `free -m` and sleeps again for a while. Adding "require ''mechanize''" to the top of the script increases the resident memory (as reported by top) from about 5mb to about 16mb. That 11mb jump seems a little crazy to me. The initial 5mb is rubygems, which also seems a little crazy to me. Am I way off track?
