I have tried everything I can, but I havent been able to get the link with $mech->follow_link, click, click_button, submit, or get. Any advice for how I can even get the link? It appears as a normal link in the browser, but when i save the $res to an output file, the link appears as file:///tmp/foo.html/gs/portal/services/cas instead of the actual link.
