Bug #3072 for WWW-Mechanize: FW: Mech History Bug

I think I found why this bug happens: OK so we surf to my home page by means of a $mech->get('http://www.potozniak.org/perl'); So in our history stack we currently have this: http://www.potozniak.org/perl <- current page Now I went to the first link corresponding to the $mech->follow_link( n => 1 ); sub routine which brings us to perl/ted/ Now in our history stack we have this: http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ted/ <- current page http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ Then I went to the first link on our current page by the same means as last time. $mech->follow_link( n => 1 ); sub routine which brings us to perl/ted/post.pl Now in our history stack we have this: http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ted/post.pl <- current page http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ted/ http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ And then I decided to do a $mech->get('http://www.google.com'); So we would think that our history stack would look like this: http://www.google.com/ <- current page http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ted/post.pl http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ted/ http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ But when we do a back we go back to http://www.potozniak.org/ted/ Why might this happen you may ask yourself. I think that when you call get the current page before the get is over ridden with the page we are now at from the get. Making our history stack look like this instead of the stack above: http://www.google.com/ <- current page http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ted/ <- will be the url after a back http://www.potozniak.org/perl/ <- will be the url after a double back I hope this helps out a bit. :-D --------------------------------------------------- Andrew Potozniak Administrative Computing Student Assistant State University of New York at Buffalo acp7@citmail.buffalo.edu 645-3587 x 7123 http://www.potozniak.org --------------------------------------------------- Show quoted text
