In fact in manual it says basic_auth() is an alias of auth() according to http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/mechanize/Mechanize.html#M000229 Problem is mechanize or(net/http) is not sending the HTTP username and password to the server, resulting server throws back 403 Forbidden Error. Now is it the bug on all requests are this is occasionally happening? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
