Hi I originally posted this to the Ruby forum but lack of responses (Aside from one that was nice but didn''t solve my problem) I''m hoping the ''web'' people her may know what I''m doing wrong. I''m sorry but this is NOT rails specific.. more "WEB" specific. Thanks for understanding. Nutshell if I use open URI (and Hpricot) to download a web page and ''scrape'' all the images to write them to my local disk dynamic images always have improper format (Size 0) but static images are fine. Example would be : <img src="http://myserver:8080/Someservlet?name=blah¶m=value&etc=etc"> Whether I copy/paste this URL in another browser or use open URI to "get" the image I get an an error of: XML Parsing Error: no element found Location: http://myserver:8080/Someservlet?name=blah¶m=value&etc=etc Line Number 1, Column 1: BUT, this image is displayed PERFECTLY in the html. How can I get this image to download? (I suspect it''s the mime type being set on the server side but I am not 100% sure) *** OUTPUT *** [[URI information...]] Fetched document: http://myserver:8080/Someservlet?name=blah¶m=value&etc=etc Content Type: application/voicexml+xml Charset: Content-Encoding: Last Modified: IMAGE INFO!!! -> Writing to file :: D:\project_x\trunk\dumps\1194882652_854.gif Thanks for your help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
