in reply to mechanize GET with .do

I forgot to mention that this is actually from a link on the page:
<a href="/friend/displayAddFriendProfile.do?userid=40418104&amp;origi +nURI=%2Fprofile%2FdisplayProfile.do%3Fuserid%3D40418104" name="&lid=O +therProfile_AddAsFriend"><img src="http://images.hi5.com/images/icons +/add_friend.gif" alt="Add as a Friend" align="absmiddle">Add as a Fri +end</a>
I've tried following the link but have had no luck...
