Hi monks,
I am using WWW.Mechanize to fetch a webpage.
I have so far done the following:

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use WWW::Mechanize;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();

my $url = "https://xyz.com/svi/app?login=true";
$mech->get($url);
$mech->success or die "Can't fetch the Requested page";

print $mech->ct();
print $mech->content();
[download]

The output i get is not html but a compressed gzip format
All nice and squigly like !²D¶f¯U±x&ä9þu4ÂøÀìQeÅJªbœñme
i had the get write to a file
`file filename` told me it is gzip format
changed the file to file.gz and did gzip -d file.gz,resulting in html.
My problem is i want to enter a user password and submit this application login page
How do i have the site return me just html so i can enter data and submit the form?
Is there any special header i can send.
does the get() provide anything to decompress.
if i take it in a file like above how do i load that page back after decompressing?
Thanks ,
chimni.
