similar to: Slowness on PUT requests

I am new to Mechanize and was wondering if there was a built-in method to get the elements that are on the page that are not part of a form. A couple of examples would be my banking site lists my entries and I want them to go into an array so that I can handle them. Or another site I use, does some categorization for me and I would like to manipulate it and present it differently to a user.

I just had an interesting meeting with developers from other parts of my company. One of the things they said they really liked about Java- based solutions was the availability of sys-admin tools to monitor Java (probably J2EE) applications. Nothing comes to mind in the RoR camp to cover this. I''m sure there are plenty of generic tools for watching pings and log files, but is

[That subject line is of course a severe truncation!] I''ve got a REST request that works fine from curl but causes a mongrel error when executed from a Java program. This all worked with fine with rails 1.1.6 and webrick. I''m trying to update the app to rails 1.2.1 (I need working around_filters). I''m running in development mode with mongrel 1.01 running on macosx

I''ve been reading, hearing, and looking at blogs that state Ruby on Rails is rather slow. Coming from a VB 6 world (thank you Microsoft for killing VB because VB.NET is NOT VB) I was always told that VB was a toy or too slow. Now, I''ll easily tell you that yes VB was not a great language. It had it''s share of warts, like a lot of other languages I might add, but

I noticed an interesting problem today when scripting against a web app. The application contained a link in it that used %20 instead of spaces. After running mechanize through the Charles debugging proxy I found that mechanize was converting %20 to %2520 (double escaping the %20). This appears to happen under both 0.5.4 and 0.6.0. Here''s a simple set of files that demonstrate

Hello, I have a login form on /login.php which POSTs to /dorf1.php when access is granted and to /login.php when it is denied. require ''rubygems'' require ''mechanize'' agent = WWW:Mechanize.new() login = agent.get("http://server/login.php") form = login.forms.action("dorf1.php") form.fields[2].value = "wronguser" # login

Hello again! I''ve another "what would you do in this situation" question. You''ve got 6 controllers, one named base. The other 5 controllers extend base. Currently they share one layout. Your layout displays navigation. However, there are two actions inside base for which you do not want navigation displayed (index, new). Do you... a) Add logic to your layout telling

I followed the tutorial from Coda Hale[1] on setting up Mongrel/Mongrel_cluster and Apache to move away from my current Apache+FastCGI setup. The mongrels are all working fine, and Apache is proxying all dynamic requests through to the cluster using proxy balance. Strange thing is now, that all my images in public/images aren''t loading at all, if I access them directly I just get a

I just noticed something interesting (or not) about getting to my RoR app on the 2 browsers. I''ve tested it running Webrick or Mongrel_rails and get the same behavior. The app is at http://www.mydomain.com:myport#/app/list Specifying that complete URL works fine in both browsers. However in IE if you just specify www.mydomain.com:myport#/app/list I get page not found. In FF the URL

Does anyone know why binary PUTs are causing a 500 error in Rails? Non binary PUTs are working fine. I''m trying to make a WebDAV server. I''ve tried using both mongrel and webrick. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

Would you bother to setup a fastcgi for a "intranet accessible" application that is like to get < 100 hits a day? David

Hi everybody I am trying to get RoR to work with lighttpd. Nearly there, but I am stuck with a strange phenomenon. If I configure lighttpd to serve pages on say port 2000, I can get at my testapp fine and see the "Welcome aboard" page. However, if I configure lighttpd to use port 80, I get a download prompt from my browser. If I access my URI like

I found an interesting page today that I was trying to script against. The server returns a 404 with content and the page just works normally in firefox despite the 404. Mechanize raises an exception on it though. I''m working on a test case now.

I got a brand new Fedora Core 4 box and was all excited to get Rails running on it. That was about two days ago. I did all the ''yum install ruby, etc. etc. etc.'', then ''gem install rails, etc. etc. etc''. I''ve tried running Rails with httpd (fastcgi and cgi), lighttpd (scgi, fastcgi, cgi), mongrel, webrick, and even ''ruby

Hey, Aaron. Looks like that get with hash params patch you checked in had some side effects. Specifically, you''re testing if a referer is a Page (mechanize.rb:171), but the referer could also be a WWW::Mechanize::File. Like if the last page loaded was xml. Here''s a patch that addresses the issue. Thanks again, Mat -------------- next part -------------- A non-text

I currently have a fairly simple Rails application running on FreeBSD under Apache 1.3 and normal CGI, and the performance I''m getting is alarmingly poor. I realize CGI or WebBrick are quite a bit slower than FastCGI, and I''ll probably use one of those instead when I have the time. However, I''m just curious if CGI is really supposed to be that slow, or if

I didn''t get much notice on #rubyonrails, so I thought I''d post here: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/ looks pretty broken, also lots of "book not found" errors: http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/book/17 -Mat

Is there a decent way to add a field to a form before posting it? I haven''t tried using HPricot manipulations just yet, since I can''t ever find really solid docs on hpricot.... Form#[]= doesn''t work because it first searches only pre-existing fields. I''m investigating how to write a patch now. But I thought maybe someone here might have an idea.

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

Hi, My organization is going to set up puppet soon. We have thousands servers and desktops. Would WEBrick work well for this? Or should we use Passenger?
