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.

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

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''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 haven''t spent the time to get a proper test case for this yet, but there appears to be a bug in the basic_auth code for mechanize 0.6.9. I''ve attached a CSV (from Charles) that illustrates the problem. Basically when running with basic_auth, there''s a failed request that''s followed up by a successful request. That last POST is a agent.submit(form)

I''ve been noticing about a 2 second pause between PUT requests when running either webrick or mongrel. GET, LIST and DELETE all work great. I tested this by using curl to make a lot of continuous requests. Even if I remove everything from the controller method and just replace it with render(:nothing => true) I still get the lag. So I don''t think it''s

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

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

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

Hey Aaron, I''m just thinking out loud here, but have you considered the possibility of using the Rhino [1] library to implement javascript support in mechanize? It''d create a jruby dependency for that feature, but still. Just thought I''d bring it up while I was thinking about it. -Mat [1] http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/

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

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

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 am trying to get a page which includes a form, but the form is missing from the WWW::Mechanize::Page object. I retrieve it via: page = web_agent.submit(a_different_form) For debugging this problem, I then immediately write the resulting page to two different logs: File.open(''big.html'',''wb'') { |f| f.write(page.body) }

I''m using RadRails and I have to create a migration file. I used the cmd window to create the file but now I need to edit and I don''t know how to access it through RaidRails. Does anybody know? What''s another way to access the file Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
