Subject: [Mechanize-users] trouble with second form on page
Message-ID: <8CB86465-3CF1-4A3F-9ACF-7DB8C4EFC568@gmail.com>

Hi all,
First encounter with Ruby/Mechanize. I'm trying to write a script to  
auto-fill a trac new ticket. I need to target the second form (with  
the action "/trac/newticket#preview). I can target the first form o.k.  
but not the second. I googled and found:

form = page.forms[2]

Here's what I'm trying:

a = WWW::Mechanize.new { |agent|
   agent.follow_meta_refresh = true
   agent.basic_auth(TRAC_USERNAME, TRAC_PASSWORD)
}
a.get('http://noname.org/trac/login') do |home_page|
page = a.get('http://noname.org/trac/newticket')
form = page.forms[2] # form = page.forms.first works with ticket field
form.summary = 'test ticket'
pp page
end

but that isn't working.  Here's what pp page gives me when I target  
the first form and the "ticket" field:

#<WWW::Mechanize::Page
  {url #<URI::HTTP:0x1017bf668 URL:http://noname.org/trac/newticket>}
  {meta}

I also installed LiveHTTPheaders and get this...

After some more testing I found that form = page.forms[1] works but  
not form = page.forms.first. Why is that?

Unless I've missed something, it's because page.forms[0] == page.forms.first
and page.forms[1] == page.forms.second (if there were a "second" method on
arrays).

Subject: [Mechanize-users] trouble with second form on page

page.forms.class == Array

so you treat it just like an array with forms[0] being first. You should
also be able to use page.form_with(:action => "/trac/newticket#preview").

Hope that helps!

Subject: [Mechanize-users] =?utf-8?q?Preserving_cookies?=
Message-ID: <7e89ddb6.1959269e.4af6b748.31da9@o2.pl

Hello. 
I wrote a script that visits people's profiles and then downloads their .jpeg pictures.
It works fine as long as as there exists a direct link to a picture, which I can access via

page = agent.click(page.link_with(:href => /profile/pic/34243242)

which for example, opens up: http://page/2948717/1/main/ad5867be9a.jpeg

and then save it: 

File.new(".../pic.jpeg", "a+") << agent.get_file(page)

But, sometimes there's no direct link, although the picture is still in their profile. In the page source by using nokogiri I am locating it's <img> tag, i.e:

<img id="photo_img" alt="zdj?cie" src="http://page/2948717/1/main/ad5867be9a.jpeg">

and then scraping the contents of the src attribute.

and loading the page: 

page = agent.get(the_src_link)

But unfortunately I am getting a HTTP Error 403 Forbidden Access.

From what I understand is that once I invoke the 'get' method it's treated as a new session and I am losing my previous settings (cookies, etc.)

How would I pass previous session data to the new link? There are a few methods in the CookieJar class, but I really have no clue how to make them work.

Thanks in advance.
