I am using Mechanize to log in to a web site and make a search. After extracting the links/info I want, I then recurisively move from the current page to the next to the next page. What I'm wondering is if there's an easy way to tell -- based on header information, for instance -- if there are "No results found" or similar page. If so, I could quickly check the header for a "404" or no-results page and then return.
I couldn't find it in the documentation and from what I can tell the answer is no. Can anyone here say more definitely, tho, whether the answer is in fact no?? Thanks in advance.
(Presently I just do a .find() for 'no results' after I .read() the link.)
