+    # Flickr refreshes after login
+    agent.follow_meta_refresh = true

+  end
+
+== Pluggable Parsers
+Lets say you want html pages to automatically be parsed with Rubyful Soup.
+This example shows you how:
+
+  require 'rubygems'
+  require 'mechanize'
+  require 'rubyful_soup'
+
+  class SoupParser < WWW::Mechanize::Page
+    attr_reader :soup
+    def initialize(uri = nil, response = nil, body = nil, code = nil)
+      @soup = BeautifulSoup.new(body)
+      super(uri, response, body, code)
+    end
+  end
+
+  agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
+  agent.pluggable_parser.html = SoupParser
+
+Now all HTML pages will be parsed with the SoupParser class, and automatically
+give you access to a method called 'soup' where you can get access to the
+Beautiful Soup for that page.
+
+== Using a proxy
+
+  require 'rubygems'
+  require 'mechanize'
+  
+  agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
+  agent.set_proxy('localhost', '8000')
+  page = agent.get(ARGV[0])
+  puts page.body
+
+== The transact method
+
+transact runs the given block and then resets the page history. I.e. after the
+block has been executed, you're back at the original page; no need count how
+many times to call the back method at the end of a loop (while accounting for
+possible exceptions).
+
+This example also demonstrates subclassing Mechanize.
+
+  require 'mechanize'
+
+  class TestMech < WWW::Mechanize
+    def process
+      get 'http://rubyforge.org/'
+      search_form = page.forms.first
+      search_form.words = 'WWW'
+      submit search_form
+
+      page.links_with(:href => %r{/projects/} ).each do |link|
+        next if link.href =~ %r{/projects/support/}
+
+        puts 'Loading %-30s %s' % [link.href, link.text]
+        begin
+          transact do
+            click link
+            # Do stuff, maybe click more links.
+          end
+          # Now we're back at the original page.
+
+        rescue => e
+          $stderr.puts "#{e.class}: #{e.message}"
+        end
+      end
+    end
+  end
+
+  TestMech.new.process
+
+== Client Certificate Authentication (Mutual Auth)
+
+In most cases a client certificate is created as an additional layer of security
+for certain websites.  The specific case that this was initially tested on was
+for automating the download of archived images from a banks (Wachovia) lockbox 
+system.  Once the certificate is installed into your browser you will have to 
+export it and split the certificate and private key into separate files. Exported
+files are usually in .p12 format (IE 7 & Firefox 2.0) which stands for PKCS #12.
+You can convert them from p12 to pem format by using the following commands:
+
+openssl.exe pkcs12 -in input_file.p12 -clcerts -out example.key -nocerts -nodes
+openssl.exe pkcs12 -in input_file.p12 -clcerts -out example.cer -nokeys
+
+  require 'rubygems'
+  require 'mechanize'
+
+  # create Mechanize instance
+  agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
+  
+  # set the path of the certificate file
+  agent.cert = 'example.cer'
+  
+  # set the path of the private key file
+  agent.key = 'example.key'
+
+  # get the login form & fill it out with the username/password
+  login_form = @agent.get("http://example.com/login_page").form('Login')
+  login_form.Userid = 'TestUser'
+  login_form.Password = 'TestPassword'
+  
+  # submit login form
+  agent.submit(login_form, login_form.buttons.first)

+= Getting Started With WWW::Mechanize
+This guide is meant to get you started using Mechanize.  By the end of this
+guide, you should be able to fetch pages, click links, fill out and submit
+forms, scrape data, and many other hopefully useful things.  This guide
+really just scratches the surface of what is available, but should be enough
+information to get you really going!
+
+== Let's Fetch a Page!
+First thing is first.  Make sure that you've required mechanize and that you
+instantiate a new mechanize object:
+ require 'rubygems'
+ require 'mechanize'
+
+ agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
+Now we'll use the agent we've created to fetch a page.  Let's fetch google
+with our mechanize agent:
+ page = agent.get('http://google.com/')
+What just happened?  We told mechanize to go pick up google's main page.
+Mechanize stored any cookies that were set, and followed any redirects that
+google may have sent.  The agent gave us back a page that we can use to
+scrape data, find links to click, or find forms to fill out.
+
+Next, lets try finding some links to click.
+
+== Finding Links
+Mechanize returns a page object whenever you get a page, post, or submit a
+form.  When a page is fetched, the agent will parse the page and put a list
+of links on the page object.
+
+Now that we've fetched google's homepage, lets try listing all of the links:
+ page.links.each do |link|
+   puts link.text
+ end
+We can list the links, but Mechanize gives a few shortcuts to help us find a
+link to click on.  Lets say we wanted to click the link whose text is 'News'.
+Normally, we would have to do this:
+ page = agent.click page.links.find { |l| l.text == 'News' }
+But Mechanize gives us a shortcut.  Instead we can say this:
+ page = agent.click page.link_with(:text => 'News')
+That shortcut says "find all links with the name 'News'".  You're probably
+thinking "there could be multiple links with that text!", and you would be
+correct!  If you use the plural form, you can access the list.
+If you wanted to click on the second news link, you could do this:
+ agent.click page.links_with(:text => 'News')[1]
+We can even find a link with a certain href like so:
+ page.links_with(:href => '/something')
+Or chain them together to find a link with certain text and certain href:
+ page.links_with(:text => 'News', :href => '/something')
+
+These shortcuts that mechanize provides are available on any list that you
+can fetch like frames, iframes, or forms.  Now that we know how to find and
+click links, lets try something more complicated like filling out a form.
+
+== Filling Out Forms
+Lets continue with our google example.  Here's the code we have so far:
+ require 'rubygems'
+ require 'mechanize'
+
+ agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
+ page = agent.get('http://google.com/')
+If we pretty print the page, we can see that there is one form named 'f',
+that has a couple buttons and a few fields:
+ pp page
+Now that we know the name of the form, lets fetch it off the page:
+ google_form = page.form('f')
+Mechanize lets you access form input fields in a few different ways, but the
+most convenient is that you can access input fields as accessors on the
+object.  So lets set the form field named 'q' on the form to 'ruby mechanize':
+ google_form.q = 'ruby mechanize'
+To make sure that we set the value, lets pretty print the form, and you should
+see a line similar to this:
+ #<WWW::Mechanize::Field:0x1403488 @name="q", @value="ruby mechanize">
+If you saw that the value of 'q' changed, you're on the right track!  Now we
+can submit the form and 'press' the submit button and print the results:
+ page = agent.submit(google_form, google_form.buttons.first)
+ pp page
+What we just did was equivalent to putting text in the search field and
+clicking the 'Google Search' button.  If we had submitted the form without
+a button, it would be like typing in the text field and hitting the return
+button.
+
+Lets take a look at the code all together:
+ require 'rubygems'
+ require 'mechanize'
+
+ agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
+ page = agent.get('http://google.com/')
+ google_form = page.form('f')
+ google_form.q = 'ruby mechanize'
+ page = agent.submit(google_form)
+ pp page
+
+Before we go on to screen scraping, lets take a look at forms a little more
+in depth.  Unless you want to skip ahead!
+
+== Advanced Form Techniques
+In this section, I want to touch on using the different types in input fields
+possible with a form.  Password and textarea fields can be treated just like
+text input fields.  Select fields are very similar to text fields, but they
+have many options associated with them.  If you select one option, mechanize
+will deselect the other options (unless it is a multi select!).
+
+For example, lets select an option on a list:
+ form.field_with(:name => 'list').options[0].select
+
+Now lets take a look at checkboxes and radio buttons.  To select a checkbox,
+just check it like this:
+ form.checkbox_with(:name => 'box').check
+Radio buttons are very similar to checkboxes, but they know how to uncheck
+other radio buttons of the same name.  Just check a radio button like you
+would a checkbox:
+ form.radiobuttons_with(:name => 'box')[1].check
+Mechanize also makes file uploads easy!  Just find the file upload field, and
+tell it what file name you want to upload:
+  form.file_uploads.first.file_name = "somefile.jpg"
+
+== Scraping Data
+Mechanize uses nokogiri[http://nokogiri.rubyforge.org/] to parse
+html.  What does this mean for you?  You can treat a mechanize page like
+an nokogiri object.  After you have used Mechanize to navigate to the page
+that you need to scrape, then scrape it using nokogiri methods:
+  agent.get('http://someurl.com/').search(".//p[@class='posted']")

+                       51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+			    Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+			    NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
