# OpenURI

OpenURI is an easy-to-use wrapper for Net::HTTP, Net::HTTPS and Net::FTP.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'open-uri'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install open-uri

## Usage

It is possible to open an http, https or ftp URL as though it were a file:

```ruby
URI.open("http://www.ruby-lang.org/") {|f|
f.each_line {|line| p line}
}
```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
