Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks, I am getting junks while I try to fetch the below page. Pls can you tell me what could be the problem?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
  $mech->get('https://thebigword-careers.irecruittotal.com/');


print $mech->content();
#my $filename = 'OUTPUT.html';
#$mech->save_content( $filename );
exit;

Is this a www::mech issue?

Thanks Monks

    No, it never is

      Can you pls tell me the reason...? Only Mechanize is returning junks and no other browsers.. I didn't understand it.

        Maybe

        Did you read WWW::Mechanize documentation for content method for your version of installed WWW::Mechanize to read and understand what it does?

        The same for save_content method?

        Did you examine the response headers ? compare them to other browsers?

        I believe that is what you would have to do to arrive at a satisfactory answer

        Hi

    I tried using Compress::Zlib qw( uncompress ) also.... still no improvments... :(

    Can anyone pls tell me the root cause?

    Is that due to gzip encoding?

    Is that due to gzip encoding?(www::mech wont unzip gzip?)

      Can anyone pls tell me the root cause?

      No, but you can maybe discover the root cause through testing, by successfully performing the diagnostic steps outlined in Re^5: WWW:Mechanize Error[getting Junks] fetching a Page

      Is that due to gzip encoding?

      Possibly

      (www::mech wont unzip gzip?)

      Will anything else unzip it?
