How's this?

require "net/http"
require "cgi"

class ShortURL
  def self.rubyurl(url)
    Net::HTTP.start("rubyurl.com", 80) { |http|
      response =
http.get("/rubyurl/create?rubyurl[website_url]=#{CGI.escape(url)}")

      if response.code == "302"
        body = response.read_body
        regex = /<a href="(.+)">/
        return regex.match(body)[1]
      end
    }
  end


  def self.tinyurl(url)
    Net::HTTP.start("tinyurl.com", 80) { |http|
      response = http.post("/create.php", "url=#{url}")

      if response.code == "200"
        body = response.read_body
        line = body.split("\n").find { |l| l =~ /hidden name=tinyurl/ }
        i1 = line.index("http")
        i2 = line.rindex("\"")
        return line[i1...i2]
      end
    }
  end
end
