Getting Started With WWW::Mechanize

This Ruby code uses WWW:mechanize to act like a web browser. 

 require 'rubygems'
 require 'mechanize'

 agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
 page = agent.get('http://google.com/')


Refer to the documentation at http://mechanize.rubyforge.org/mechanize/. Then gem install mechanize, and try running the code in an irb session.

output (extract):
=> #<WWW::Mechanize::Page
 {url #<URI::HTTP:0xfdbbbb286 URL:http://www.google.com/>}
 {meta}
 {title "Google"}
