Using the following code (from the Mechanize site but in a rake task)..
namespace :ans do
task :grab => :environment do
a = Mechanize.new { |agent|
agent.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
}
begin
a.get('http://google.com/') do |page|
search_result = page.form_with(:name => 'f') do |search|
search.q = 'Hello world'
end.submit
search_result.links.each do |link|
puts link.text
end
end
end
end
end
I get an encoding error..
rake aborted!
