Ruby WGet

Marc Heiler

Hi,

I would need a ruby "wget version" which works on linux and windows.

I would like to feed it an URL to a .tar.bz2 or .zip or .tar.gz file and
have it download. That's what it basically should do.

Right now I use

system 'wget '+the_url

which does not work on windows easily (but will work on pretty much all
the linuxes out there)

I once wrote a minimal ruby wget wrapper but it has some problems as the
code is years old and messy :/ so I was wondering if anyone is using
some ruby-wget thing?

It seems Net::HTTP is everything you need, especially since you just
want to download a single file and did not mention other requirements.

Kind regards

Net::HTTP should be adequate, no?

I'd suggest using openuri -- it's a lot more flexible than net::http.

Not to toot my own horn, but I've a version of cat which opens uri's,
files, etc...., which you might consider basing your code upon -- it's at:

(and a followup at)

Hope this helps,
Matt

I've been doing more reading and it seems if they had stayed out
of politics and just helped people things would have been better for
them.
