\&\f(CW\*(C`WWW::Mechanize\*(C'\fR, or Mech for short, is a Perl module for stateful
programmatic web browsing, used for automating interaction with
websites.
.PP
Features include:
.IP "\(bu" 4
All \s-1HTTP\s0 methods
.IP "\(bu" 4
High-level hyperlink and \s-1HTML\s0 form support, without having to parse \s-1HTML\s0 yourself

\&\s-1SSL\s0 support
.IP "\(bu" 4
Automatic cookies
.IP "\(bu" 4
Custom \s-1HTTP\s0 headers

\&\s-1HTTP\s0 authentication
.PP
Mech supports performing a sequence of page fetches including
following links and submitting forms. Each fetched page is parsed
and its links and forms are extracted. A link or a form can be
selected, form fields can be filled and the next page can be fetched.
Mech also stores a history of the URLs you've visited, which can
be queried and revisited.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    use WWW::Mechanize;
\&    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize\->new();
\&
\&    $mech\->get( $url );
\&
\&    $mech\->follow_link( n => 3 );
\&    $mech\->follow_link( text_regex => qr/download this/i );
\&    $mech\->follow_link( url => \*(Aqhttp://host.com/index.html\*(Aq );
\&
\&    $mech\->submit_form(
\&        form_number => 3,
\&        fields      => {
\&            username    => \*(Aqmungo\*(Aq,
\&            password    => \*(Aqlost\-and\-alone\*(Aq,
\&        }
\&    );
\&
\&    $mech\->submit_form(
\&        form_name => \*(Aqsearch\*(Aq,
\&        fields    => { query  => \*(Aqpot of gold\*(Aq, },
\&        button    => \*(AqSearch Now\*(Aq
\&    );
.Ve
.PP
Mech is well suited for use in testing web applications.  If you use
one of the Test::*, like Test::HTML::Lint modules, you can check the
fetched content and use that as input to a test call.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    use Test::More;
\&    like( $mech\->content(), qr/$expected/, "Got expected content" );
.Ve
.PP
Each page fetch stores its \s-1URL\s0 in a history stack which you can
traverse.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $mech\->back();
.Ve
.PP
If you want finer control over your page fetching, you can use
these methods. \f(CW\*(C`follow_link\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`submit_form\*(C'\fR are just high
level wrappers around them.
.PP
.Vb 7
\&    $mech\->find_link( n => $number );
\&    $mech\->form_number( $number );
\&    $mech\->form_name( $name );
\&    $mech\->field( $name, $value );
\&    $mech\->set_fields( %field_values );
\&    $mech\->set_visible( @criteria );
\&    $mech\->click( $button );
.Ve
.PP
WWW::Mechanize is a proper subclass of LWP::UserAgent and
you can also use any of LWP::UserAgent's methods.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $mech\->add_header($name => $value);
.Ve
.PP
Please note that Mech does \s-1NOT\s0 support JavaScript, you need additional software
for that. Please check \*(L"JavaScript\*(R" in WWW::Mechanize::FAQ for more.

.SH "CONSTRUCTOR AND STARTUP"
.IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR AND STARTUP"
.SS "\fInew()\fP"
.IX Subsection "new()"
Creates and returns a new WWW::Mechanize object, hereafter referred to as
the \*(L"agent\*(R".
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize\->new()
.Ve
.PP
The constructor for WWW::Mechanize overrides two of the parms to the
LWP::UserAgent constructor:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    agent => \*(AqWWW\-Mechanize/#.##\*(Aq
\&    cookie_jar => {}    # an empty, memory\-only HTTP::Cookies object
.Ve
.PP
You can override these overrides by passing parms to the constructor,
as in:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize\->new( agent => \*(Aqwonderbot 1.01\*(Aq );
.Ve
.PP
If you want none of the overhead of a cookie jar, or don't want your
bot accepting cookies, you have to explicitly disallow it, like so:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    my $mech = WWW::Mechanize\->new( cookie_jar => undef );
.Ve
.PP
Here are the parms that WWW::Mechanize recognizes.  These do not include
parms that LWP::UserAgent recognizes.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`autocheck => [0|1]\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Checks each request made to see if it was successful.  This saves
you the trouble of manually checking yourself.  Any errors found
are errors, not warnings.
.Sp
The default value is \s-1ON,\s0 unless it's being subclassed, in which
case it is \s-1OFF. \s0 This means that standalone WWW::Mechanizeinstances
have autocheck turned on, which is protective for the vast majority
of Mech users who don't bother checking the return value of \fIget()\fR
and \fIpost()\fR and can't figure why their code fails. However, if
WWW::Mechanize is subclassed, such as for Test::WWW::Mechanize
or Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst, this may not be an appropriate
default, so it's off.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`noproxy => [0|1]\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Turn off the automatic call to the LWP::UserAgent \f(CW\*(C`env_proxy\*(C'\fR function.
.Sp
This needs to be explicitly turned off if you're using Crypt::SSLeay to
access a https site via a proxy server.  Note: you still need to set your
\&\s-1HTTPS_PROXY\s0 environment variable as appropriate.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`onwarn => \e&func\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Reference to a \f(CW\*(C`warn\*(C'\fR\-compatible function, such as \f(CW\*(C`Carp::carp\*(C'\fR,
that is called when a warning needs to be shown.
.Sp
If this is set to \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR, no warnings will ever be shown.  However,
it's probably better to use the \f(CW\*(C`quiet\*(C'\fR method to control that behavior.
.Sp
If this value is not passed, Mech uses \f(CW\*(C`Carp::carp\*(C'\fR if Carp is
installed, or \f(CW\*(C`CORE::warn\*(C'\fR if not.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`onerror => \e&func\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Reference to a \f(CW\*(C`die\*(C'\fR\-compatible function, such as \f(CW\*(C`Carp::croak\*(C'\fR,
that is called when there's a fatal error.
.Sp
If this is set to \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR, no errors will ever be shown.
.Sp
If this value is not passed, Mech uses \f(CW\*(C`Carp::croak\*(C'\fR if Carp is
installed, or \f(CW\*(C`CORE::die\*(C'\fR if not.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`quiet => [0|1]\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Don't complain on warnings.  Setting \f(CW\*(C`quiet => 1\*(C'\fR is the same as
calling \f(CW\*(C`$mech\->quiet(1)\*(C'\fR.  Default is off.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`stack_depth => $value\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Sets the depth of the page stack that keeps track of all the
downloaded pages. Default is effectively infinite stack size.  If
the stack is eating up your memory, then set this to a smaller
number, say 5 or 10.  Setting this to zero means Mech will keep no

\&\f(CW\*(C`get()\*(C'\fR is a well-behaved overloaded version of the method in

.Ve
.PP
and you can rest assured that the parms will get filtered down
appropriately.
.PP
\&\fB\s-1NOTE:\s0\fR Because \f(CW\*(C`:content_file\*(C'\fR causes the page contents to be
stored in a file instead of the response object, some Mech functions
that expect it to be there won't work as expected. Use with caution.

if there's no current request.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->\fIback()\fP"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->\fIback()\fP"

The equivalent of hitting the \*(L"back\*(R" button in a browser.  Returns to

This returns the \fIn\fRth item in history.  The 0th item is the most recent
request and response, which would be acted on by methods like \f(CW\*(C`find_link()\*(C'\fR.
The 1th item is the state you'd return to if you called \f(CW\*(C`back()\*(C'\fR.

but this may differ for \s-1HTML\s0 documents if \*(L"update_html\*(R" is
overloaded (in which case the value passed to the base-class

Returns a text-only version of the page, with all \s-1HTML\s0 markup
stripped. This feature requires \fIHTML::TreeBuilder\fR to be installed,

\&\fI\f(CI$base_href\fI\fR is \f(CW\*(C`$mech\->base()\*(C'\fR if not specified. This is

To preserve backwards compatibility, additional parameters will be
ignored unless none of \f(CW\*(C`raw | decoded_by_headers | charset\*(C'\fR is

Finds a link in the currently fetched page. It returns a

probably be most interested in the \f(CW\*(C`url()\*(C'\fR property.)  If it fails
to find a link it returns undef.
.PP
You can take the \s-1URL\s0 part and pass it to the \f(CW\*(C`get()\*(C'\fR method.  If
that's your plan, you might as well use the \f(CW\*(C`follow_link()\*(C'\fR method
directly, since it does the \f(CW\*(C`get()\*(C'\fR for you automatically.
.PP
Note that \f(CW\*(C`<FRAME SRC="...">\*(C'\fR tags are parsed out of the the \s-1HTML\s0
and treated as links so this method works with them.

key/value pairs:
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`text => \*(Aqstring\*(Aq,\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`text_regex => qr/regex/,\*(C'\fR
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`text\*(C'\fR matches the text of the link against \fIstring\fR, which must be an
exact match.  To select a link with text that is exactly \*(L"download\*(R", use
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    $mech\->find_link( text => \*(Aqdownload\*(Aq );
.Ve
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`text_regex\*(C'\fR matches the text of the link against \fIregex\fR.  To select a
link with text that has \*(L"download\*(R" anywhere in it, regardless of case, use
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    $mech\->find_link( text_regex => qr/download/i );
.Ve
.Sp
Note that the text extracted from the page's links are trimmed.  For
example, \f(CW\*(C`<a> foo </a>\*(C'\fR is stored as 'foo', and searching for
leading or trailing spaces will fail.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`url => \*(Aqstring\*(Aq,\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`url_regex => qr/regex/,\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Matches the \s-1URL\s0 of the link against \fIstring\fR or \fIregex\fR, as appropriate.
The \s-1URL\s0 may be a relative \s-1URL,\s0 like \fIfoo/bar.html\fR, depending on how
it's coded on the page.
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`url_abs => string\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`url_abs_regex => regex\*(C'\fR

.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`tag => string\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`tag_regex => regex\*(C'\fR
.Sp
Matches the tag that the link came from against \fIstring\fR or \fIregex\fR,
as appropriate.  The \f(CW\*(C`tag_regex\*(C'\fR is probably most useful to check for
more than one tag, as in:
.Sp

.PP
If \f(CW\*(C`n\*(C'\fR is not specified, it defaults to 1.  Therefore, if you don't
specify any parms, this method defaults to finding the first link on the
page.
.PP
Note that you can specify multiple text or \s-1URL\s0 parameters, which
will be ANDed together.  For example, to find the first link with
text of \*(L"News\*(R" and with \*(L"cnn.com\*(R" in the \s-1URL,\s0 use:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $mech\->find_link( text => \*(AqNews\*(Aq, url_regex => qr/cnn\e.com/ );

.PP
The return value is a reference to an array containing a

.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->field( \f(CW$name\fP, \e@values, \f(CW$number\fP )"
.IX Subsection "$mech->field( $name, @values, $number )"
Given the name of a field, set its value to the value specified.
This applies to the current form (as set by the \*(L"\fIform_name()\fR\*(R" or
\&\*(L"\fIform_number()\fR\*(R" method or defaulting to the first form on the
page).
.PP
The optional \fI\f(CI$number\fI\fR parameter is used to distinguish between two fields
with the same name.  The fields are numbered from 1.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->select($name, $value)"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->select($name, \f(CW$value\fP)"
.IX Subsection "$mech->select($name, $value)"
.ie n .SS "$mech\->select($name, \e@values)"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->select($name, \e@values)"
.IX Subsection "$mech->select($name, @values)"
Given the name of a \f(CW\*(C`select\*(C'\fR field, set its value to the value
specified.  If the field is not \f(CW\*(C`<select multiple>\*(C'\fR and the
\&\f(CW$value\fR is an array, only the \fBfirst\fR value will be set.  [Note:
the documentation previously claimed that only the last value would
be set, but this was incorrect.]  Passing \f(CW$value\fR as a hash with
an \f(CW\*(C`n\*(C'\fR key selects an item by number (e.g.
\&\f(CW\*(C`{n => 3}\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`{n => [2,4]}\*(C'\fR).
The numbering starts at 1.  This applies to the current form.
.PP
If you have a field with \f(CW\*(C`<select multiple>\*(C'\fR and you pass a single
\&\f(CW$value\fR, then \f(CW$value\fR will be added to the list of fields selected,
without clearing the others.  However, if you pass an array reference,
then all previously selected values will be cleared.
.PP
Returns true on successfully setting the value. On failure, returns
false and calls \f(CW\*(C`$self>warn()\*(C'\fR with an error message.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->set_fields( $name => $value ... )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->set_fields( \f(CW$name\fP => \f(CW$value\fP ... )"
.IX Subsection "$mech->set_fields( $name => $value ... )"
This method sets multiple fields of the current form. It takes a list
of field name and value pairs. If there is more than one field with
the same name, the first one found is set. If you want to select which
of the duplicate field to set, use a value which is an anonymous array
which has the field value and its number as the 2 elements.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&        # set the second foo field
\&        $mech\->set_fields( $name => [ \*(Aqfoo\*(Aq, 2 ] );
.Ve
.PP
The fields are numbered from 1.
.PP
This applies to the current form.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->set_visible( @criteria )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->set_visible( \f(CW@criteria\fP )"
.IX Subsection "$mech->set_visible( @criteria )"
This method sets fields of the current form without having to know
their names.  So if you have a login screen that wants a username and
password, you do not have to fetch the form and inspect the source (or
use the \fImech-dump\fR utility, installed with WWW::Mechanize) to see
what the field names are; you can just say
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $mech\->set_visible( $username, $password );
.Ve
.PP
and the first and second fields will be set accordingly.  The method
is called set_\fIvisible\fR because it acts only on visible fields;
hidden form inputs are not considered.  The order of the fields is
the order in which they appear in the \s-1HTML\s0 source which is nearly
always the order anyone viewing the page would think they are in,
but some creative work with tables could change that; caveat user.
.PP
Each element in \f(CW@criteria\fR is either a field value or a field
specifier.  A field value is a scalar.  A field specifier allows
you to specify the \fItype\fR of input field you want to set and is
denoted with an arrayref containing two elements.  So you could
specify the first radio button with
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $mech\->set_visible( [ radio => \*(AqKCRW\*(Aq ] );
.Ve
.PP
Field values and specifiers can be intermixed, hence
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $mech\->set_visible( \*(Aqfred\*(Aq, \*(Aqsecret\*(Aq, [ option => \*(AqChecking\*(Aq ] );
.Ve
.PP
would set the first two fields to \*(L"fred\*(R" and \*(L"secret\*(R", and the \fInext\fR
\&\f(CW\*(C`OPTION\*(C'\fR menu field to \*(L"Checking\*(R".
.PP
The possible field specifier types are: \*(L"text\*(R", \*(L"password\*(R", \*(L"hidden\*(R",

\&\*(L"Ticks\*(R" the first checkbox that has both the name and value associated

that value.  Passing in a false value as the third optional argument
will cause the checkbox to be unticked.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->untick($name, $value)"

.IX Subsection "$mech->value( $name [, $number] )"
Given the name of a field, return its value. This applies to the current
form.
.PP
The optional \fI\f(CI$number\fI\fR parameter is used to distinguish between two fields
with the same name.  The fields are numbered from 1.
.PP
If the field is of type file (file upload field), the value is always
cleared to prevent remote sites from downloading your local files.
To upload a file, specify its file name explicitly.

Has the effect of clicking a button on the current form.  The first
argument is the name of the button to be clicked.  The second and
third arguments (optional) allow you to specify the (x,y) coordinates
of the click.
.PP
If there is only one button on the form, \f(CW\*(C`$mech\->click()\*(C'\fR with

.ie n .SS "$mech\->\fIclone()\fP"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->\fIclone()\fP"
.IX Subsection "$mech->clone()"
Clone the mech object.  The clone will be using the same cookie jar
as the original mech.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->\fIredirect_ok()\fP"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->\fIredirect_ok()\fP"
.IX Subsection "$mech->redirect_ok()"
An overloaded version of \f(CW\*(C`redirect_ok()\*(C'\fR in LWP::UserAgent.
This method is used to determine whether a redirection in the request
should be followed.
.PP
Note that WWW::Mechanize's constructor pushes \s-1POST\s0 on to the agent's
\&\f(CW\*(C`requests_redirectable\*(C'\fR list.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->request( $request [, $arg [, $size]])"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->request( \f(CW$request\fP [, \f(CW$arg\fP [, \f(CW$size\fP]])"
.IX Subsection "$mech->request( $request [, $arg [, $size]])"
Overloaded version of \f(CW\*(C`request()\*(C'\fR in LWP::UserAgent.  Performs
the actual request.  Normally, if you're using WWW::Mechanize, it's
because you don't want to deal with this level of stuff anyway.
.PP
Note that \f(CW$request\fR will be modified.
.PP
Returns an HTTP::Response object.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->update_html( $html )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->update_html( \f(CW$html\fP )"
.IX Subsection "$mech->update_html( $html )"
Allows you to replace the \s-1HTML\s0 that the mech has found.  Updates the
forms and links parse-trees that the mech uses internally.
.PP
Say you have a page that you know has malformed output, and you want to
update it so the links come out correctly:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&    my $html = $mech\->content;
\&    $html =~ s[</option>.{0,3}</td>][</option></select></td>]isg;
\&    $mech\->update_html( $html );
.Ve
.PP
This method is also used internally by the mech itself to update its
own \s-1HTML\s0 content when loading a page. This means that if you would
like to \fIsystematically\fR perform the above \s-1HTML\s0 substitution, you
would overload \fIupdate_html\fR in a subclass thusly:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&   package MyMech;
\&   use base \*(AqWWW::Mechanize\*(Aq;
\&
\&   sub update_html {
\&       my ($self, $html) = @_;
\&       $html =~ s[</option>.{0,3}</td>][</option></select></td>]isg;
\&       $self\->WWW::Mechanize::update_html( $html );
\&   }
.Ve
.PP
If you do this, then the mech will use the tidied-up \s-1HTML\s0 instead of
the original both when parsing for its own needs, and for returning to
you through \*(L"content\*(R".
.PP
Overloading this method is also the recommended way of implementing
extra validation steps (e.g. link checkers) for every \s-1HTML\s0 page
received.  \*(L"warn\*(R" and \*(L"die\*(R" would then come in handy to signal
validation errors.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->credentials( $username, $password )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->credentials( \f(CW$username\fP, \f(CW$password\fP )"
.IX Subsection "$mech->credentials( $username, $password )"
Provide credentials to be used for \s-1HTTP\s0 Basic authentication for
all sites and realms until further notice.
.PP
The four argument form described in LWP::UserAgent is still
supported.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->get_basic_credentials( $realm, $uri, $isproxy )"
.el .SS "\f(CW$mech\fP\->get_basic_credentials( \f(CW$realm\fP, \f(CW$uri\fP, \f(CW$isproxy\fP )"

Updates all internal variables in \f(CW$mech\fR as if \f(CW$request\fR was just
performed, and returns \f(CW$response\fR. The page stack is \fBnot\fR altered by
this method, it is up to caller (e.g. \*(L"request\*(R") to do that.
.ie n .SS "$mech\->_modify_request( $req )"

.IX Subsection "$mech->_modify_request( $req )"
Modifies a HTTP::Request before the request is sent out,
for both \s-1GET\s0 and \s-1POST\s0 requests.
.PP
We add a \f(CW\*(C`Referer\*(C'\fR header, as well as header to note that we can accept gzip

The agent keeps a stack of visited pages, which it can pop when it needs
to go \s-1BACK\s0 and so on.
.PP
The current page needs to be pushed onto the stack before we get a new
page, and the stack needs to be popped when \s-1BACK\s0 occurs.

Neither of these take any arguments, they just operate on the \f(CW$mech\fR
