Subject: check for active web pages with open-uri

I'm using openuri module to open web pages. If the pages doesn't exist I
get an error:
in `initialize': getaddrinfo: no address associated with hostname.
(SocketError)

then I get a whole bunch of other stuff. Is there a parameter to use so
that open() returns a true or false value if the page exists or not?
Basically I'm looking through a list of web addresses and I want to
store the active pages and throw away the non active pages. So if the
page doesn't exist I want to be able to move on in the script.
