URI.parse errors!

resp = Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse("http:#{img['src']}"))

thats the line that is making this error:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/common.rb:436:in
`split': bad URI(is not URI?):

(URI::InvalidURIError)

How is it invalid? :cry:

What are the contents of img['src']... do they include the leading //'s required to make this a good URI?

Well, according to my irb, it isnt ->
  >> URI.parse("http://images.slashdot.org/articles/09/02/03/1620213-1-thumb.png"\)
  => #<URI::HTTP:0xb7ade668 URL:http://images.slashdot.org/articles/09/02/03/1620213-1-thumb.png&gt;
  
So it must be something about img['src'], you should #inspect it.
