Hey Everyone, I have a pretty interesting problem that I thought I would try and get some feedback on. The following method below accepts a URL string as a parameter ex "http://www.google.com," and it uses regular expressions to try and find the images in the html. The odd thing is.... that I have tested it over and over again.... and it has always grabbed the images and worked exactly as I coded it too, but lately it has been telling me that the URI class doesn''t have a read method.... when it must because I have been using it! I am just so confused why rails would suddenly have this issue, and I am wondering if anyone can make heads or tails out of it. The code is posted below. Thanks! <================== CODE ===========================================> def get_images(url) @image_links = [] if validate_link(url) == false return @image_links end if ((url =~ /\.jpg/)||(url =~ /\.png/)||(url =~ /\.gif/)) == nil begin uri = URI.parse(url) str = uri.read host = uri.host rescue SystemCallError return @image_links end @body = str.scan(/<body.+<\/body>/) @images = str.scan(/(src=\"http.+\.jpg?\")/) str = @images.to_s @images = str.scan(/\".+?\"/) @image_links = filter_images(@images) @image_links.push("no_image.jpg") else @image_links.push(url) @image_links.push("no_image.jpg") end return @image_links end --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

oh and I thought I should provide the error message itself: NoMethodError (undefined method `read'' for #<URI::HTTP:0x256f764>): On Jan 24, 1:41 am, cdubd <cdub...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hey Everyone, > > I have a pretty interesting problem that I thought I would try and get > some feedback on.

OpenURI adds one, so the logical conclusion for me is that something in your environment has changed that results in openuri not having been required when previously it was.

Thanks Fred, I checked it out, and you were right. Open-URI is required now, and it works like a charm.
