Subject: Re: how to search a website

regarding mechanize, ive been tinkering with it and i want to knwo if 
after you grab a webpage you can access the page`s html rather than 
using the object returned from .get('...')

i wrote a huge script which took me hours and uses regular expressions 
to scrape pages off ebay. It took me ages to write good regseps so i 
dont want to thorw them away. I however ran into a problem regarding 
logging into ebay so turned to mechanize. I basicaly want to login to 
ebay using mechanize and then use my own regexps on a grabbed pages 
html. Im not sure how to get that html though...

i checked the ruby core section for mechanize but its thin and the 
examples dont cover this situtation, they all presume you will use 
hrpicot etc.

any one help me on this one?
