Thank you guys very much!
I was able to get it to work by fixing my path.
I wasn't able to get it to work using alternate way even after changing the
URL.
I get the following error.

syntax error, unexpected kDO, expecting $end
do |src|

Just out of curiosity- how can I fix this.
I would like to know so that I can work through it and figure out exactly
what the script is doing and
compare it to the previous script.
Thanks again!
