Mechanize instances do cache pages you've visited, but you can clear that
with agent.history.clear; or prevent history from being saved by setting
agent.history.max_size = 0. Or, you can use a new Mechanize instance
altogether.

In the future, you may want to send Mechanize-specific questions to the
Mechanize mailing list:
