ruby mechanize in Facebook

Question

I'm trying to click the Settings button on the home page, but when I do I get this page back:

#<WWW::Mechanize::Page
 {url
  #<URI::HTTP:0x1023c5fc0 URL:http://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php?ref=mb&drop>}
 {meta}
{title nil}
{iframes}
{frames}
{links}
{forms}>

which is.. kinda empty! Is there some problems with these iframes and frames stuff maybe?

Answer 1

As roja mentioned, following redirects might be what you need. Here's an example of how to do this:

@agent = Mechanize.new
@agent.redirect_ok = :all
@agent.follow_meta_refresh = :anywhere

Then you can pretty much ignore the fact that there's redirects involved - Mechanize will simply put you on the resulting page.
