Are you using a complete URI or just part of one? For example,
'domain.com' is not a URI. Further:

[root@server15 mwhite]# ruby -r uri -e 'p
URI.parse("google.com").host'
nil
[root@server15 mwhite]# ruby -r uri -e 'p URI.parse("http://
google.com").host'
"google.com"

If that's not the problem, maybe you could give us some code? Good
luck!
