the code have far (basically) function using open-uri ruby standard library. standard library module, require 'open-uri' @ top of file in use it.

open::uri treats job give contents of file. if comfortable using tools search raw text particular contents looking for, may enough. there few gems, though, assume html , provide special support finding html elements , inspecting contents. this post uses mechanize in turn built on top of nokogiri. easier write working code when using library, aware installing nokogiri may difficult in staging or production environment when making decision use it.
