You've got a couple options, either interacting with the HTTP stream
directly or interacting with a web browser.  If you don't mind limiting
your application to Windows, you could use the IE Controller which is
now called WTR and available here: http://rubyforge.org/projects/wtr.  I
was just writing a program yesterday to look up people's phone numbers
using www.whitepages.com.  WTR isn't documented very well, but if I can
figure it out, anyone can.
