```
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

url = 'https://mail.google.com/mail/help/images/logo.gif'
uri = URI.parse(url)
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true if uri.scheme == "https"
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
http.start {
  http.request_get(uri.path) {|res|
    File.open(File.basename(uri.path),'wb') { |f|
  f.write(res.body)

```

}  
}  
}

Regards,

Park H.

Hi park,

I got the solution to change the line like this

File.open(“c:\TML\1.gif”,‘wb’)

Thanks.
