Is anyone familiar with the solution to this problem ?

I have the following application environment :

Ruby version 1.8.6 (i386-mswin32)
RubyGems version 0.9.2
Rails version 1.2.3

Thanks,
HM

My code looks like this:

agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
agent.useragentalias = “Windows IE 6″ # tried other agents as well
page = agent.post(URI.parse(‘http://www.nzb.to/’))
link = page.links.text(“einloggencome in”)
page = agent.click(link)
form = page.forms[1]
form["username"]= “energydrink”
form["pass"] = “energydrink”
puts agent.cookies.size
puts “duppidoo” if page.body =~ /eingeloggt .* energydrink/

I tried it like this on an other page, an it works fine.
But on this page…i tried but i it over and over but it doesn’t seem to work.

On this page exists 3 forms with all the same name (called “form1″). Could this be a problem?

Has anyone an idea that could help?

Thanks in advance

If you don’t want to send in the original, it would be helpful if you could trim the html down to the smallest example that reproduces the problem.

Like Joseph’s, my page is full of javascript that manipulates page elements. But when you strip it all away, it’s just plain:
form
input type = “text” name= “user”
input type = “password” name = “password”
input type= “submit” name=”login”

input type=”hidden” value=”whatever”
input type= “hidden” value=”whatever2″
/form

…but when I pp the form in mechanize, it only sees the hidden ones.

I could probably supply the source for the page if it would help, but I’d have to clean it up because it’s something internal.

Thanks

Has anyone successfully logged in to Netflix using Mechanize? I am
pretty new at this, but I tried to follow the “guides” instructions.
However it seems that the login page for netflix uses Javascript to
process its form, and so isn’t parsed correctly by Mechanize – or at
least must be handled differently than those examples covered in the
guide.

The login url for Netflix is http://www.netflix.com/Login? (Actually
there seem to be many possible urls for this. I’m not sure what they
are using the urls to track)

The trouble is that when I pretty print what Mechanize fetches, while
there is a form called login, it doesn’t have any login fields to
speak of. Instead the submit button fires off a javascript which (I
assume) reads in two other text boxes on the page “password” and
“email”. One can see these fields in the source. However they don’t
seem to lie within form. I don’t know how to set these other fields
values, because at least in the examples Mechanize only modifies
form.field not just any old field hanging out in the wild.
