Throttle Mechanize gem

Question

Is there any built-in way to throttle Mechanize gem?

I'm searching something like a callback on making an HTTP request.

Later edit: I would like to implement bandwith throttling, to avoid flooding parsed sites. EG: Only allow one request per second.

What do you mean? What do you want to do? – Serabe Sep 21 '11 at 14:11 — Serabe, Sep 21 '11 at 14:11

It may be that pre_connect_hooks is what you are looking for. Sadly, I am unable to find any way to add one but adding directly a lambda/Proc to the array.

They are called here and this method is called here
