mechanize

Is there a straightforward way to set custom headers with Mechanize 2.3? I tried a former solution but get: $agent = Mechanize.new $agent.pre_connect_hooks << lambda { |p| p[:request]['Referer'] = 'https://wwws.mysite.com/cgi-bin/apps/Main' } # ./mech.rb:30:in `<main>': undefined method `pre_connect_hooks' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) The docs say: get(uri, parameters = [], referer = nil, headers = {}) { |page| ... } so for example: agent.get 'http://www.google.com/', [], agent.page.uri, {'foo' => 'bar'} alternatively you might like: agent.request_headers = {'foo' => 'bar'} agent.get url

I want to use mechanize to log into a page and retrieve some information. But however I try to authenticate It just fails with Error code HTTP 401 , as you can see below: r = br.open('http://intra') File "bui...e\_mechanize.py", line 203, in open File "bui...g\mechanize\_mechanize.py", line 255, in _mech_openmechanize._response.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized This is my code so far: import mechanize import cookielib # Browser br = mechanize.Browser() # Cookie Jar cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar() br.set_cookiejar(cj) # Browser options br.set_handle_equiv(True) # br.set_handle

I just started using mechanize in Python and I'm having some problems with it already. I've looked around on StackOverflow and on Google and I've seen people say that the documentation is great and that it should be easy to get it working, but I think I don't know how to look for that documentation since all I can find is code examples which don't really teach me how to do the particular things I'm trying to do. If anyone could point me to such documentation, I'd be glad to read it myself and solve my problem. For the actual problem, I'm trying to log in to a website by sending my username and

I found some solutions using post_connect_hook and pre_connect_hook , but it seems like they don't work. I'm using the latest Mechanize version (2.1). There are no [:response] fields in the new version, and I don't know where to get them in the new version. https://gist.github.com/search?q=pre_connect_hooks https://gist.github.com/search?q=post_connect_hooks Is it possible to make Mechanize return a UTF8 encoded version, instead of having to convert it manually using iconv ? nagoya0 Since Mechanize 2.0, arguments of pre_connect_hooks() and post_connect_hooks() were changed.

Closed. This question is off-topic . It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 4 years ago . I'm creating an Android app which must do some web surfing in the background in order to provide a service to the user. The site I must connect to has no API, it only provides standard HTTP access, with extensive cookie usage but (luckily for me) not much Javascript code. I wonder if there is a library which behaves like python mechanize for Android, or if it's possible to use mechanize itself in the Android app

I have a python script which scrapes a page and receives a cookie. I want to append another cookie to the existing cookies that are being send to the server. So that on the next request I have the cookies from the original page plus ones I set manually. Anyway of doing this? I tried addheaders in mechanize but it was ignored. Use the set_cookie method: >>> import mechanize >>> br=mechanize.Browser() >>> br.set_cookie? Definition: br.set_cookie(self, cookie_string) Docstring: Request to set a cookie. Note that it is NOT necessary to call this method under ordinary circumstances: cookie handling

I'm writing an "automatically fill in the forms" app using Ruby / Mechanize. It almost works. I can use the wonderful Charles web proxy to see the exchange between the server and my Firefox browser. Now I want to use Charles to see the exchange between the server and my app. Charles proxies on port 8888. Assume that the server is at https://my.host.com . One thing that does NOT work is: @agent ||= Mechanize.new do |agent| agent.set_proxy("my.host.com", 8888) end This results in a Net::HTTP::Persistent::Error : ...lib/net/http/persistent.rb:579:in `rescue in connection_for': connection refused:

I have a bit trouble with Mechanize. When a submit a form with Mechanize. I am come to a page with one meta refresh and there is no links. My question is how do i follow the meta refresh? I have tried to allow meta refresh but then i get a socket error. Sample code require 'mechanize' agent = WWW::Mechanize.new agent.get("http://euroads.dk") form = agent.page.forms.first form.username = "username" form.password = "password" form.submit page = agent.get("http://www.euroads.dk/system/index.php?showpage=login") agent.page.body The response: <html> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"0
