There is this really cool tool that all us programmers know about but we never tell the noobs. But as you asked so nice I will tell you. Its called google :) Try this query "read an https url in ruby", look at the first result. Looks interesting? As you have displayed no ability to solve your own problems and an inflated sense of your own importance I think that you will probably go nowhere. Ammar has done his best to help you, you however have expected everything to be given to you on a plate. Behave like a child and you will be treated like a child. TTFN
