Mechanize for Scala is a programmable web robot, useful for testing and scraping websites. It understands both the HTTP protocol and HTML, thanks to Apache HttpClient and the Validator.nu HTML Parser.
There are no prebuilt jars available at this time. To build it yourself you have to use sbt (highly recommended!)
sbt update publish-local
and add the following dependency to your project:
"org.smop" %% "mechanize" % "0.1-SNAPSHOT"
The project is currently hosted at GitHub and the usual github tools can be used to communicate with the author. Other means of contact include Twitter @BartSchuller and email mechanize@smop.org.
