From: CBlair1986 Date: 2006-07-17T04:15:11+09:00 Subject: Alternative to open-uri? I'm using open-uri to open a very large web file. This is all fine and dandy, I thought, until I saw how much memory it was using. I can deal with a little bit of memory taken up, but memory up to the size of the file is just too much. Does anyone know any alternatives to open-uri, different methods I could use, etc? Thank you very much!
