UPDATE: sort of solved. The web server sets Content-Length to a incorrect value (at least for compressed replies), and Mechanize was re-trying the GET before giving up.
The temporary fix is to monkey patch Mechanize::HTTP::Agent to ignore Content-Length. A longer-term fix would be to include a mechanism in Mechanize to allow ignoring bogus Content-Length. I've submitted a feature request to mechanize/issues. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
