Dear all,

while trying to download some website with open-uri, I am only getting  
a  
message that my browser doesn’t support frames, and that I should  
download  
some other website without frames, but if I download that one, nothing  
different happens.  
I am new to screen scraping, and I would definitely like to use plain  
Ruby  
rather  
than Rails to do this.

My code is below:

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘rio’

# open an URI and copy the content into a file

rio(‘[http://www.math-jobs.com](http://www.math-jobs.com)’) \> rio(‘C:/math-jobs.html’)

# changing the last line above to this one doesn’t help …

# rio(‘[Mathematics, Statistics & Data Science Jobs worldwide | Math-Jobs.com](http://www.math-jobs.com/com/center)’) \> rio(‘C:/math-jobs.html’)

On the website ‘[http://www.math-jobs.com](http://www.math-jobs.com)’, there are a lot of links -  
how  
could  
these be retrieved ?

Thank you for your help,

Best regards,

Axel

rio(‘[Mathematics, Statistics & Data Science Jobs worldwide | Math-Jobs.com](http://www.math-jobs.com/com/center.html)’) \> rio(‘test.html’)

This worked for me. Kubuntu, Ruby 1.8.4.
