Subject: Re: Mechanize Cache problem

Wait wait ... Got back into my code.. as far as I can tell every time I 
call for Mechanize to search the page it is doing it with a new instance 
of agent.
So its probable not a caching problem.
Because right now I don't even have the repeated search loop built .. 
I'm running it singularly ... and then running it again .. so the 
results are froma new agent instance every time ... hhhmmm..

Cuz I hit refresh in IE and a new entry is shown...
I run my little search in Netbeans does show new entry.. repeat this for 
about 5 minutes eventual it shows new entry

heres the code if your interesed ...but I'l go ask the Mechanize guys



def search(search_url)
 results = []
  agent = Mechanize.new
  page =  agent.get(search_url)

  until page.links[0].text =~ /Next >>/

         page.links.delete_at(0)
  end
  page.links.delete_at(0)
  while page.links[0].text =~ /^\d{1,}\z/

      page.links.delete_at(0)
  end
  page.links.each{|l|
   results << l
  }
  return results
end
