To me it looks like "uri" doesn't exist: irb(main):007:0> require 'uri' => true irb(main):008:0> url = uri.new NameError: undefined local variable or method `uri' for main:Object from (irb):8 from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/http.rb:56 Glancing at the page you posted, I see there that there is no object called "uri" anywhere. There is a module called "URI" and it has a parse method, but there isn't a class you can instantiate. What's returned from that method (there also doesn't appear to be a "parse!" method anywhere on that page) looks like it's one of the URI::<something> classes for each specific protocol like URI::HTTP and the like. irb(main):009:0> URI.parse("http://www.booger.com") => #<URI::HTTP:0xfdbe7c2fe URL:http://www.booger.com> -- Michael T.
