I'm not following you. If the above link is a URI representing the file (with the appropriate content-type) then open-uri should get the file. Of course, if that URI represents an HTML page then yes, you would get an HTML page. HTTP is content agnostic. It will simple GET (or POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) whatever the URI represents. OpenURI is just a wrapper around net/http, net/https & net/ftp: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/OpenURI.html -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
