Subject: Looking for Mechanize code for login

Hi

I am trying to automate collecting balances from my bank using  
Mechanize.
I have set

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'pp'

username = "*****"
password = "****"

site_url = "https://online.compassweb.com/servlet/compass/login.jsp"
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
page = agent.get(site_url)
form = page.forms.first
form.fields.name("UserName").value = username
form.fields.name("Password").value = password
page = agent.submit(form, form.buttons.first)

The page I get back has the following in it:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
     function setLocation(){
             location.replace("/servlet/compass/inc/init/login- 
init.jsp");
         }
     window.onload=setLocation;
</SCRIPT>
</body>
</html>

Can someone tell me what the process is for retrieving pages like  
this are?

Thanks
