Message: [QUOTE="anne001, post: 4513102"] I am trying to run the ruby lynux tutorial on web spiders [URL]http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/51/Ruby_Web_Spiders.pdf[/URL] Apparently, the information has moved on the livejournal.com. The tutorial says "you can get a wealth of information from the http response object returned by the net http get function" If I use puts data, I get The document has moved <A HREF="[URL]http://anne.livejournal.com/profile[/URL]">here</A>.<P if I use puts resp, I get `puts': stack level too deep (SystemStackError) Is the tutorial refering to the data part of the response only? Here is a cgi script on livejournal #!/usr/bin/perl use LWP::Simple; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print get('[URL]http://www.livejournal.com/customview.cgi[/URL]' . '?username=username&styleid=101'); [URL]http://www.livejournal.com/developer/embedding.bml?method=cgi[/URL] Here is the program I am working with --------------------------------------------------------> require 'net/http' h=Net::HTTP.new('[URL="http://www.livejournal.com"]www.livejournal.com[/URL]', 80) friend_arr = [] person= ARGV[0] resp, data = h.get("[URL]http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=#[/URL]{person}",nil) print "Friend list for #{person}\n" #puts resp puts data data.split("\n").each do |line| line.split(",").each do |token| if token =~ /userinfo.bml\?user=([^'&]*)\'/ friend_arr.push #1 print #$1\n" end end end print "\n" friend_arr.each do |friend| print "Parsing #{friend}'s. journal for #{person}'s. comments...\n"; f=File.new("#{person}_#{friend}.txt","w") f.puts 'ruby parse_journal.rb #{friend}#{person}' f.close end [/QUOTE]
