Vlad,

This regular expression:

>
> %r{/switch_accounts.html/}
>

doesn't match this href:

>
> https://.../reports/switch_accounts.html?...
>

Because the regular expression has a trailing '/' after the
accounts.html. I think you could just change to this:

%r{/switch_accounts.html}

and get a match.

Also, something that I do which is useful for me, is to load a copy of
the page in irb, using something like this:

irb> page = Mechanize::Page.new(nil, {'content-type' => 'text/html'},
File.read('my.html'), 200)

(From memory, may have a detail wrong.)

Then, you can test your mechanize code interactively against the page,
and make sure it's working the way you expect, before you put it in
real code.
