Subject: Re: Loading XML file from web

This is pretty much straight from the documentation of Net::HTTP

require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.start('www.digg.com', 80) { |http|
  response = http.get('rss/index.xml')
  response.body # this is the text of www.digg.com/rss/index.xml
}

so simply now create an instance of Document with the text
response.body (I haven't tried this out myself, but should work)
