in thread www::mechanize not behaving as browser?

Hi, thanks for your comment - I am taking a look at Wireshark now.

I have tried several different browsers include IE & Firefox on Windows and Safari, Firefox and even Camino on Mac, and all have achieved successful search results. It doesn't seem too fussy about the particular browser, but there's obviously something different in my Mechanize browser which is sending things awry.

    If it isn't filtering by the user-agent string, its probably setting a cookie via img (which mechanize doesn't load), or some form value via script... so it could be as simple as fetching an image, or set some extra form values normally set via script ... it all shows up on the wire :)
