require 'uri'
my_url=URI::parse("http://www.blah.com/uk/home.asp?variable";)
puts my_url.scheme
puts my_url.host
puts my_url.path
puts my_url.query
You can put together the pieces you need:
"#{my_url.scheme}://#{my_url.host}#{my_url.path}"
So your code becomes:
require 'watir'
require 'uri'
test_site="http://www.blah.com/uk/home.asp?src=ash";
ie = Watir::IE.new
ie.speed = :fast
ie.goto test_site
url=URI::parse(ie.url)
if "#{url.scheme}://#{url.host}#{url.path}" == "http://www.blah.com/uk/
home.asp"
puts "ok"
else
puts "bugger!"
end
Whether this is a good idea depends on how advanced your scripts
eventually get.
