To be honest: i never even heard of "mechanize". Why doN't you use wget, which can do all you seem to want to do right out of the box?

If your SysAdmin is just too lazy to install it: report him to your managers for being an obstacle and have him fired (yes, i really mean that). wget can be downloaded either from the IBM site:

IBM AIX toolbox for Linux applications

or Michael Perzls site, all packaged into installable rpm-packages. If it is even good enough for IBM itself it might eventually be good enough for your SysAdmin.

I hope this helps.

WMGRABIMGAE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    WMGRABIMGAE(1)

NAME

       WMGRABIMGAE - Dockable WWW Image monitor.

SYNOPSIS

       wmGrabImage [-h] [-display <Display>] -url <Image URL> [-http <URL>] [-c] [-delay <Time>]

DESCRIPTION

       wmGrabImage  is	a  WindowMaker DockApp that maintains a small thumbnail copy of your favorite image from the WWW.  The image to monitor is
       specified via the "-url <Image URL>" command-line option and it gets updated approximately every 5 minutes.  The  update  interval  can	be
       overridden via the "-delay <Time>" command-line option (Time is in seconds).

       Each of the three mouse buttons can be double clicked with the following effects;

       Left Mouse:
	      Brings up the full-sized image in xv.

       Middle Mouse:
	      Sends  a URL (specified via the -http <URL> command-line option) to an already running netscape process or in a new netscape process
	      if there arent any running.

       Right Mouse:
	      Updates the image immediately.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display list of command-line options.

       -display [display]
	      Use an alternate X Display.

       -url <Image URL>
	      The URL of the WWW image to monitor.

       -http <URL>
	      The URL to send to netscape via a Middle double click.

       -c     Center the image vertically within the icon.

       -delay <Time>
	      The time between updates. The default is about 5 minutes.

FILES

       The original sized image and the thumbnail XPM image are both stored in ~/.wmGrabImage/ which gets created if it doesnt already exist.

SEE ALSO

       wget and the ImageMagick convert utility.

BUGS

       Who knows? -- its still Beta though. (Let me know if you find any). Oldish versions of the ImageMagick convert utility have a  memory  leak
       -- if you have that problem, upgrade to the latest version.
