if i need to provide more info let me know: basically there appears to be a special html variable called &LANG. however, some of the sites i use mech on use this as a regular variable such as
www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/myscript.pl?id=123&year=2004&LANG=english etc mechanize cant follow such links (i assume gets fail as well, cant remember) because some piece of mechanize is transmuting the &LANG into some special character, thinking its html instead of part of a link. is this a known issue, or do i need to provide more info, or do i simply need to find a workaround? -- gedanken
