I've got a file with uids on separate lines, and I'm trying to include them in a URI.
File.open("File Path").readlines.each do |line|
puts line
uid = line
uri = URI("http://example:port/path/variable=#{uid}&fragment")
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
puts res.body
But I get an error saying "bad URI(is not URI?)".
Could anyone help?
Thanks
Can you try a
uid = line.strip
The strip removes leading and trailing spaces and newlines.
With
p uid
or
puts uid.inspect
you may see the real content of the string.
It depends a lot on what are you actually feeding it, but I recommend trying these 2 things so you troubleshoot your code well.
Use puts "[#{uid}]" to see what does the line variable contain exactly. This will surely help you notice if it has a newline in it, for example. The right square bracket will be on the next line and you will know your input is malformed.
Try constructing the URL like this: uri = URI("http://example:port/path/variable=#{URI.encode(uid)}&fragment"). This will help you escape characters which are normally not allowed in an URI / URL.
Hope this helps.
do you means
uri = URI("http://example:port/path/?variable=#{uid}&fragment")
