Code is: @LoginUrl = ‘[http://mail.google.com/mail/](http://mail.google.com/mail/)’ @agent = Mechanize.new @agent.keep\_alive = false @agent.user\_agent = ‘Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6’ @agent.follow\_meta\_refresh = true @agent.redirect\_ok = true @agent.ca\_file = ‘cacert.pem’ login\_page = @agent.get(@LoginUrl) begin login\_form = login\_page.forms.first login\_form.Email = account login\_form.Passwd = password ``` login_response_page = @agent.submit login_form ``` rescue Exception =\> e print e, “\n” end Thanks in advance! ---
