The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites.
Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects, and
can follow links and submit forms. Form fields can be populated and
submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have visited
as a history.

Added Mechanize#ignore_bad_chunking for working around servers that don’t

incorrect or missing content-types. Issue #221 by GarthSnyder
