Rails - Jun 2011 - [open-uri] cannot parse correctly a file with a dot inside the filename ...

I have some big issue in opening one file ...

currently I am writing

require ''open-uri''
..
      io = open(URI.parse(thumbnail_url))
      def io.original_filename; base_uri.path.split(''/'').last;
end
      io.original_filename.blank? ? nil : io


this one ( and similar) open very well
thumbnail_url = "http://video.vertexdigitalsports.com//sitehome/site41/
userUpload/ID7bcfa7ff-63d0-4564-ad22-5c7a233d4890/
JoeFBVideo2328_thumbnail.png"

I get
#<File:/var/folders/NK/NKfWCW3eEVCg0ERnpPsnME+++TI/-Tmp-/open-
uri20110614-5150-1frj7ah>

but trying to open this one ..  (  there is a dot in the filename ...
thumbnail_url = "http://video.vertexdigitalsports.com//sitehome/site41/
userUpload/ID856657ea-1f86-4937-904c-04852ca94ad1/
PerformanceManagementVideoVer1.32430_thumbnail.png"

I get
#<StringIO:0x0000010702e15>  and this raises an exception in my app..

I tried to use  ''addressable/uri)

require ''addressable/uri''
uri = Addressable::URI.parse(thumbnail_url)
open(uri.normalize.to_s) {|f| p f.status } => ["200",
"OK"]
then
 io = open(uri.normalize.to_s) {|f| f.read }
but this is not right ...

what should I rather write  ?

thanks for your feedback
