Mechanize Iconv::IllegalSequence when trying to form POST query

Question

Hello, the following code raises the aforementioned error, how can I fix that?

require 'mechanize'
m = WWW::Mechanize.new
p = m.get('http://art-mobile.com.ua/register.php')
f = p.forms.first
f.submit(f.buttons.last)

Just in case, here is the full description of an error on my box

And BTW this solution doesn't work

Answer 1

Looks like the solution is to rewrite the gem a little so that it converts the encoding of the page to utf-8 on initializing a new page, changing @encoding var to utf-8 and storing the original encoding in another file, and making changes necessary to force the gem to use original encoding on forming a query
