Subject: Re: mechanize to access https links

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'

mech = WWW::Mechanize.new
page =
mech.get('https://tutorials.siteofinterest.com/?
page=tutorialView&tId=47')

This code does return a page, but not the page I wanted. So there must
be something missing, a cookie or something which indicates I have
logged in.

If I try to access one of the links in ruby
mech.get('http://tutorials.siteofinterest.com/tutorials/Intro/Intface/
Intface.html')
I get an error, please provide username and password
while if I paste the http address in safari, it opens the tutorial
page. How do I find out what the browser is doing to satisfy the
tutorial web page server?
