Hi, I wanna use Rails on a SuSE server with apache.

I''ve got a block of code that''s turning out.. well - just plain ugly. So i know I must not be doing it the Ruby way. The main problem I''m having is in dealing with handling errors - and just not finding much Rails documentation that gives a deeper understanding of how to handle errors in Rails (outside of several docs on the catch-all''s) the main method

For example, this url returns some xml: http://www.mysite.com/xml What is the correct way to perform a GET on this url, and then parse the RESPONSE xml? Could someone shine some light on a poor soul? :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi One of our customers has a Filemaker database which needs to be accessed for some data. Using the Web Companion, I can query the database for an XML version of the data.
