mechanize version 2.1.1 has been released!
The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites.
Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects,
can follow links, and submit forms. Form fields can be populated and
submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have
visited as
a history.
=== 2.1.1 / 2010-02-03
- Bug fixes
- Set missing idle_timeout default. Issue #196
- Meta refresh URIs are now escaped (excluding %). Issue #177
- Fix charset name extraction. Issue #180
- A Referer URI sent on request no longer includes user information
or fragment part. - Tempfiles for storing response bodies are unlinked upon creation to
avoid
possible lack of finalization. Issue #183 - The default maximum history size is now 50 pages to avoid filling up
a
disk with tempfiles accidentally. Related to Issue #183 - Errors in bodies with deflate and gzip responses now result in a
Mechanize::Error instead of silently being ignored and causing future
errors. Issue #185 - Mechanize now raises an UnauthorizedError instead of crashing when a
403
response does not contain a www-authenticate header. Issue #181 - Mechanize gives a useful exception when attempting to click buttons
across
pages. Issue #186 - Added note to Mechanize#cert_store describing how to add certificates
in
case your system does not come with a default set. Issue #179 - Invalid content-disposition headers are now ignored. Issue #191
- Fix NTLM by recognizing the “Negotiation” challenge instead of
endlessly
looping. Issue #192 - Allow specification of the NTLM domain through Mechanize#auth. Issue
#193 - Documented how to convert a Mechanize::ResponseReadError into a File
or
Page, along with a new method #force_parse. Issue #176
