Hi, everyone, I''m currently running a Rails 1.0 project using lighttpd-1.4.9 behind Apache 2 on RHEL 3.

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.

Hi, I am using this subset statement and it works outside a function. LIS[[i]]<- lapply(LI, subset, select=cov[[i]]) However, wrapped inside a function this statement produces the same values for every LIS[[1]] which is only the first subset of LI. Does anyone know why is not working correctly inside a function? ff = factor(covariate) nLev <- nlevels(ff) cov <-

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, I am trying to use ruby int an embedded web server. The environment does not have the luxury of CGI or WebBrick. I find limited documentation on how to get this to work. As a test program on windows, I tried the code in the section below. I have the issues. 1. Is public/dispatch.rb the right script to invoke a rails app?

So I found myself wanting to call Mechanize#get with a hash for arguments like this: WWW::Mechanize.new(''http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/'', {:method => ''flickr.auth.getFrob''... }) Granted, it looks like this isn''t supported but it led me to what looks like a bug. Namely that get calls fetch_page(abs_uri, request, cur_page, &block)

I am looking for a way to do multiresponse parameter estimation for a problem that is quite similar in form to the alpha-pinene example in Bates and Watts (1988), p. 147, where the model is a set of ODEs. I am specifically interested in obtaining the parameter covariance matrix, as well. Which package(s) in R would I use to do such a thing? Mark Schaffer Dept. of Chemical Engineering
