Hi Sebastian,
It's sometimes hard to know exactly what a web page is reacting to when
you post something to the page. Sometimes it's looking for the button,
maybe it's looking for a hidden variable. (for more details, see
I would suggest using Tamper Data ( http://tamperdata.mozdev.org/ ) to
look at exactly what data is being transmitted to the host. Then look at
what $mech wants to send. (Look at headers and posted variables.) In
general if you can get the http requests to be identical, then you
should get identical responses from the server.
Cheers,
Peter

Hello,
I have a problem with WWW::Mechanize that I cant solve. I am posting
to a site but apparently I get always to the same original site.
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(stack_depth => 1);
...
my $url = URI->new("http://rna.tbi.univie.ac.at/cgi-bin/RNAfold.cgi";);
...
$mech->get($url);
...
if($mech->success())
{
$mech->form_number(1);
$mech->set_fields(
name => "$names[$num]",
Sequence => "$lines[$num]",
pffold => "pf",
Params => "RNA",
Temp => "37",
email => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
);
$mech->untick(toggles => "-4");
$mech->untick(toggles => "-d");
$mech->tick(toggles => "-noCloseGU");
$mech->tick(toggles => "-noLP");
$mech->untick(plot => "on");
$mech->untick(SVG => "on");
$mech->untick(SSview => "on");
$mech->click_button(value => "Fold it");
if($mech->success())
{... do something
I never get to the next page. Arrays @nams and @lines are not empty. I
checked it with submit with some hardcoding for Sequence but there is
no chance to get past the original site. Do I anything wrong? I am
lost I am afraid. Thank you in advance for any advice.
Sebastian
