    You know, it would be easier to follow the redirect if I knew that it 
was giving me a redirect and if I knew how to follow one were I to be given 
it...

    You know, this is where Ruby's lack of documentation is really biting me 
in the ass.  I found some rudimentary docs on how to use it but, you know 
what?  For the life of me, no amount of googling can reveal exactly where I 
can get the open-uri module...  Seriously, where do I download this thing 
from and how could I have known that?
    Thank you, from a very frustrated would-be Ruby programmer...
