submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have
visited as
a history.

=== 2.3 / 2012-02-20

  • Minor enhancement

    • Add support for the Max-Age attribute in the Set-Cookie header.
    • Added Mechanize::Download#body for compatibility with
      Mechanize::File when
      using Mechanize#get_file with Mechanize::Image or other
      Download-based
      pluggable parser. Issue #202 by angas
    • Mechanize#max_file_buffer may be set to nil to disable creation of
      Tempfiles.

  • Bug fixes

    • Applied Mechanize#max_file_buffer to the Content-Encoding handlers
      as well
      to prevent extra Tempfiles for small gzip or deflate response
    • Increased the default Mechanize#max_file_buffer to 100,000 bytes.
      This
      gives ~5MB of response bodies in memory with the default history
      setting
      of 50 pages (depending on GC behavior).
    • Ignore empty path/domain attributes.
    • Cookies with an empty Expires attribute value were stored as session
      cookies but cookies without the Expires attribute were not. Issue
      #78
