Parsing and Mechanizing Using Hpricot
16 years ago
Some people do the best what they
have been doing for last few years.
You won’t like to compete them. Web
2.0 is not about reinventing the wheel,
it’s not about developing a XYZ site
that provides the traditional web
solutions. Rather it’s about integration
of the existing services and providing user a better interface to interact with.
Hpricot is a ruby gem that allows you
to parse/scrap in any HTML/XML documents. It will be interesting to see how Hpricot does it, what are the various methods of fethcing or modifying the HTML/XML for an element, and the limitations of it!

will you be able to also hit a few http clients? have never been able to get the html in the first place from a lot of security (read certificates) protected sites via ruby http clients.
Hi subhransu,
I will be great if you share some technincal stuff regarding RUBY, for those who are new to this along with hapricot.
