module Tap
  module Mechanize
    # :startdoc::manifest submits a captured http request
    #
    # Performs a series of HTTP requests and returns the content of the final
    # page.  Requests must be hashes that at least specify the uri of the next
    # request, but more typically also specify the request method, parameters,
    # and even headers.
    #
    # All requests are peformed in the same session, so logins and subsequent
    # actions are allowed.  The easiest way to capture HTTP requests is to
    # use the capture server distributed with tap-mechanize.  Simply start a
    # tap server and work through the tutorial (http://localhost:8080/capture/tutorial).
    #
    #   % tap server
    #
    # Once you have a request file:
    #
    #   % tap run -- load/yaml --:s submit --: dump < request.yml
    #
    # Remember, only the results of the final page are returned!
    class Submit < Request  
      def process(*requests)
        super(requests).content
      end
    end
