First a general remark! you should use multiline mode as tags can be more lines.
Now I do not really see what you want from your page.
If you want the body tag only, the following should do

@response.gsub(/\s+/," ").scan(/<body[^>]*>/)
this might be slow for long pages

Regexen are probably not your best choice if you want to analyze the
tag. Still something like this might work fine
@response.gsub(/\s+/," ").scan(/<body(\s+(\w+)="([^"]*)")>/)
save for escaped "
