Hi Jeroen: It seems you're talking about two separate things: (a) a mechanism to log in and scrape pages (b) a mechanism to run a task in the background For (a) I use Mechanize for logging in and page scraping -- that's what it's designed for. For (b), I use DelayedJob. I've had no problem running a Mechanize task in the background using DelayedJob. - ff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
