in thread Need help with WWW::Mechanize and Chrome cookies

This is really weird - what is the value of the URL you're trying to navigate to when that error occurs? Where does that error occur?

    I sent you the url.

    The error occurs on both of these calls: 
    $mech->get($foo, ':content_file'=>$filename);
my $file_content  = $mech->get($foo);

      Yes. So what is the value of $foo? Did you print it? Is the loop necessary for the bug to happen, or does the error happen with the hardcoded value for $foo as well?

      From the URL you sent to me, it seems that WWW::Mechanize returns absolute URLs, while WWW::Mechanize::Chrome returns whatever URLs are contained in the file. Simple printing of the values can confirm that to you.

      Until WWW::Mechanize::Chrome achieves API parity with WWW::Mechanize in that part, consider converting the URL to absolute yourself.

        I modified the code to eliminate the loop and I changed the URL to absolute. 
        my @urls = map { $_->url_abs } @links;

        The error message went away but these calls still don't return anything. 
        $mech->get($foo, ':content_file'=>$filename);
my $file_content  = $mech->get($foo);
