Hi all,

I am trying to login to linked in but it is failing with Mechanize.  
code is,

agent = WWW::Mechanize.new  
page = agent.get(“[https://www.linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com)”)  
link = page.links.find {|l| l.text =~ /Sign in/}  
page = agent.click(link)  
form = page.forms.first  
form.fields.find {|f| f.name == “session\_login” }.value = “linkedin\_id”  
form.fields.find {|f| f.name == “session\_password” }.value = “password”  
page = agent.submit(form, form.buttons.first)  
puts page.body

I am getting the same sign in page.

What can be wrong with this piece of code?  
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
