mechanize how to get current url

Question

I have this code

require \'mechanize\'
@agent = Mechanize.new
page = @agent.get(\'http://something.com/?page=1\')
next_page = page.link_with(:href=>/^?page=2/         


        

Answer 1

next_page.uri.to_s 

See http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/mechanize/Mechanize/Page/Link#uri-instance_method and http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.4.1/libdoc/uri/rdoc/URI.html

For testing purposes, I did the following in irb:

require 'mechanize'
@agent = Mechanize.new

page = @agent.get('http://news.ycombinator.com/news')
=> #}
 {meta_refresh}
 {title "Hacker News"}
 {iframes}
 {frames}
 {links
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  #
  # Omitted for brevity...

next_page.uri
 => # 

next_page.uri.to_s
 => "http://news.ycombinator.com/news2"
