If I grok in fullness, what you are asking is essentially "how do I
open a file by URL, in Ruby?"  Googling "ruby open url" (sans quotes)
yields some promising hits.  Summary: check out net::http, and
open-uri.  I didn't read it in enough detail to see how it handles
authentication (if at all), but at least it's a starting point.  Maybe
Googling "ruby open authenticated url" might be useful?  I'll leave
that as an exercise for the reader.  ;-)
