Has anyone successfully used Hpricot call multiple pages in the same
ruby script:

# begin code

require 'hpricot'
require 'open-uri'

url = "http://ibm.com"
N = 5

page = nil

for counter in (0..N)

    puts counter.to_s() + "> checking " + url
    page = Hpricot( open( url ) )
    sleep(2)

end

# end code

I end up with the following error:

ruby test.rb

0> checking http://ibm.com
1> checking http://ibm.com
2> checking http://ibm.com
3> checking http://ibm.com
