I am using open-uri for the first time. I need to visit a bunch of urls
and gather some data. Here is a samll code snippet

require 'open-uri' # allows the use of a file like API for URLs
open( "http://no-way-outspaik375.spaces.msn....) { |file|
lines = file.read
puts lines

}

and here is the error I get
ruby test.rb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:290:in `open_http': 500 Internal
Server Error (OpenURI::HTTPError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:629:in `buffer_open'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:167:in `open_loop'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:165:in `open_loop'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:135:in `open_uri'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:531:in `open'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:86:in `open'
from test.rb:2

However
require 'open-uri' # allows the use of a file like API for URLs
open( "http://www.google....) { |file|
lines = file.read
puts lines

}

works just fine. What am I doing wrong??

You can see some info on HTTP 500 errors here:
http://www.checkupdown.com/status...

Maybe the service was down?
Or they may have it restricted to prevent scraping?
You may need to provide some info to fool the site into
thinking your a regular browser...

The service was not down. Both urls open in a browser.

Asshole ernie shows us once again what an idiot she is.

As I have been saying, Farrel has not posted here in about 7 years
now.

ernie `thinks` ( I use the term lightly) that the real Farrel is still
here, and using of all names, "Hunky Farrel"?

Could asshole ernie possibly be any more stupid?

Marcus

P.S. prepare for auto-babble reply from asshole ernie
