Hi,

Question - Anyone know of a ruby tool that does this? (or something  
close to it)…or else http/web libraries that might be a good start  
to building this if nothing exists? (or even a non-ruby tool if you  
know of it)?

Requirements

- Sync specific intranet web pages specified to an online (external)  
site
- Specific pages in the form of URLs (e.g. latest team contact details)
- Program periodically checks for new/changed content and then  
downloads content (that page & direct images etc) to an external site
- Has proxy settings (host, port, username, password) to access  
Internet (from a work location) to synch out
- re where/how it stores this, and whether protected/open, I’ll leave  
this open - would be preferable to require credentials to access via  
internet (when not at the work location)

Thanks
