Hi,
I have to parse a lot of bad links like:
http://www.something.com/bad link.jpg
(spaces in them)
URI.parse fails parsing them and considers them as faulty links.
However in my case I need it to work. Is there a workaround for this?

That’s not necessarily a bad url, you just need to encode it properly, i
believe %20 is the code for a space.
Google gives me this summary;

uri = “http://www.something.com/bad link.jpg”
URI.parse(uri.gsub(/ /, ‘+’)) #<- replaces all spaces with ‘+’

Thanks for both the answers.
CGI.escape is my friend:)

Just a small point - URI escaping and CGI escaping are similar but not
the same. To get URI escaping, require ‘uri’ and use URI.escape
instead of CGI.escape.
