what is wrong and how to write it shorter?

[ngoc]

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'net/http'
h = Net::HTTP::new('www.rubyist.net')
(1..9).each do |pages|
pg = '/~matz/slides/oscon2005/mgp0000' + pages + '.txt'
resp, data = h.get(pg)
print data, "\n"
puts 10 * '-'
end

(10..59).each do |pages_2|
pg = '/~matz/slides/oscon2005/mgp000' + pages_2 + '.txt'
resp, data = h.get(pg)
print data, "\n"
puts 10 * '-'
end

An attempt to write it shorter
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'net/http'
h = Net::HTTP::new('www.rubyist.net')
h.get('/~matz/slides/oscon2005/') { |pages|
print pages, "\n"
puts 10 * '-'
}
in theory, above code merge html and text. How to pick up text only file?

puts '-' * 10

end

Or

(1..59).each do |pages|
pg = "/~matz/slides/oscon2005/mgp%05.txt" % pages

require "open-uri"

BASE_URL = "http://www.rubyist.net/~matz/slides/oscon2005/mgp"
"00001".upto("00059") { |n|
puts "Fetching #{n}.html..."
File.open(n + ".html", "w") { |f|
f.write(open(BASE_URL + n + ".html").read)
