Subject: excel mashup

I'm using parseexcel (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/parseexcel/) to
read some excel files from a website after manually downloading them.
I'd like to avoid the download and read them directly off the web but
can't see how to do this. parseexcel uses File.open which requires a
disk file I guess. In java there are high level interfaces that allow
you to treat any type of data as an io stream.

is there something I'm missing here? another way to do this?
