Is it possible to serialize the Mechanize object?
I want to store the Mechanize object in a database using a rails Model but it throws a TypeError exception when doing so…

Any idea how I can solve this problem?

Thanks :)

Many thanks for your work on mechanize. I'm trying to scrape a web site and the page I'm trying to access requires a cookie to be set to be downloaded (I discovered this after some time, wondering why with firefox I could access it and not with mechanize). In any case I found the cookies which are needed but I started to fight with mechanize on how to use in such a circumstance. In other words (please, note I'm rather a ruby newbie) I've to access the page and provide a certain cookie value to have it properly downloaded. I was able to access and donwload it with curl (with the --cookie option) but I've not been able to do it with mechanize. I googled a lot but was not able to find a plain, simple utorial on how to use the cookie features of mechanize. How can I achive with mechanize what I do with curl (see below):</p> <p>system<em>cmd = "curl.exe\" -v --output \"rassegnaQuotidiana.asp\" --cookie persistent%2DRassegnaStampa=\"articleFormat=pdf\" --cookie RassegnaStampa=\"userSessionId=%7BE8CC32B6%2D49C7%2D41EE%2D9CEF%2D4F798706787F%7D&NomeTabella=Ecoras&strdaric3=&strdaric=+rsdat+%3D+DATE%27#{rassegna</em>time.year.to<em>s}%2D#{rassegna</em>time.month.to<em>s}%2D#{rassegna</em>time.day.to<em>s}%27&tipo=11001&currentDate=#{rassegna</em>time.year.to<em>s}%2D9%2D28&ricercaData=#{rassegna</em>time.year.to<em>s}%2D#{rassegna</em>time.month.to<em>s}%2D#{rassegna</em>time.day.to<em>s}\" http://rassegna.camera.it/chiosco</em>new/pagweb/rassegnaQuotidiana.asp"</p> <p>Many thanks in advance!</p> <p>Luigi</p> Hello.
