The only links I see are the basics such as: <Mechanize::Page::Link "Edit friends" "http://www.facebook.co...

Included with Python: urllib - seems to me that I should use urllib2 instead. urllib has no cookie support, HTTP/FTP/local files only (no SSL) urllib2 - complete HTTP/FTP client, supports most needed things like cookies, does not support ...
I have a web scraping script that gets new data once every minute, but over the course of a couple of days, the script ends up using 200mb or more of memory, and I found out it's because mechanize is keeping an infinite browser history for the .back() function to use. I have looked in the docstrings, and I found the clear_history() func...

mechanize's Browser class is great and it's follow_link() function is great too. But what to do with this kind of links: <a href="http://example.com"><img src="…"></a> Is there any way to follow such links? The text attribute of this type of links is simply '[IMG]', so AFAIK, there is no way to differentiate such links. Any help...

[I'm working in Ruby, but my question is valid for other languages as well.] I have a Mechanize-driven application. The server I'm talking to sets a cookie using javascript (rather than standard set-cookie), so Mechanize doesn't catch the cookie. I need to pass that cookie back on the next GET request. The good news is that I alr...
I try to submit a form by Mechanize, however, I am not sure how to add necessary form valuables which are done by some Javascript.

The form source: <form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="list.aspx" language="javascript" onkeypress="javas...

I'm using mechanize to login into a website and then retrieve a page. I'm running into some problems and I suspect this is due to some values in the cookies. When Mechanize logs into a website I assume it stores the cookies. How do I print out all the data stored in the cookies by Mechanize? ...

I am attempting to have mechanize select a form from a page, but the form in question has no "name" attribute in the html. What should I do? when I try to use br.select_form(name = "") I get errors that no form is declared with that name, and the function requires a name input.

I want to log into https://www.t-mobile.com/ programmatically. My first idea was to use Mechanize to submit the login form: However, it turns out that this isn't even a real form. Instead, when you click "Log in" some javascript grabs the values of the fields, creates a new form dynamically, and submits it. "Log in" button HTML: <bu...
