"[]= called on nil object" on @jar[normal_domain][cookie.path][cookie.name] = cookie

On the June 24th commit, cookie_jar.rb file. http://github.com/tenderlove/mechanize/blob/0cb78c906ea339e16829636be47fe35b5dc8be6f/lib/www/mechanize/cookie_jar.rb

On the #add method
def add(uri, cookie)
return unless uri.host =~ /#{CookieJar.strip_port(cookie.domain)}$/i

    normal_domain = cookie.domain.downcase

    unless @jar.has_key?(normal_domain)
      @jar[normal_domain] = Hash.new { |h,k| h[k] = {} }
    end

    @jar[normal_domain][cookie.path][cookie.name] = cookie
    cleanup
    cookie
  end

I sometimes get an error on
@jar[normal_domain][cookie.path][cookie.name] = cookie
complaining about "[]= called on nil object".

I suspect that when a cookie_jar is loaded from YAML, the default value for @jar[normal_domain] is not being correctly set. I'm currently adding
@jar[normal_domain][cookie.path] ||= {}
@jar[normal_domain][cookie.path][cookie.name] = cookie
