Mechanize - problem with downloading csv file

Hi,

I am trying to download the past call details from ATnT site
in csv format.

It requires to select the bill period and click on a radio button.
Then clicking on “Submit” link downloads the call summary for
that period.

I tried to do it in mechanize in the following way, but it download
the src of the page in stead of downloading the actual CSV file.

get the download page

page_download = agent.get "
https://www.wireless.att.com/view/billPayDownloadDetail.doview?execdownloadPage=true
"

get the form for bill_period and select a bill period

bill_period_form = page_download.forms[2]
bill_period_form.field.options[2].select

click on the csv radio button

download_format_form = page_download.forms[3]
download_format_form.radiobuttons[1].click

click on the submit link that downloads the csv file.

download_file = agent.click download_page.search(“a”)[41]
download_file.save_as(“<path_to_file>.csv”)

The problem I am facing in the above code is:

  • Doesn’t do anything special after selecting a particular bill period
    from
    the select options.
  • Download the page source in stead of downloading the actual csv file.

Can you suggest something? Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Subhransu
