Subject: Shoes GUI question - downloading body of sites using Ruby

Hi all,


I want to use shoes to be able to download the body of a website that a
user enters in an edit_line.  How can I make this work?  Can anyone help
explain why the below code does not work?  It just pops up a new window,
and does not download the site from the text entered....

Here's my code thus far:

    Shoes.app do
      stack (:left => 175, :top => 200) do
        para "Enter a url:"
        flow do
          @url = edit_line
          button "OK" do

        window do
            stack do
             title "Searching site", :size => 16
              @status = para "One moment..."
               # Search site for query and print body
                download @url.text do |site|
                  @status.text = "Body: " + site.response.body.inspect
               end
            end
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end
