Subject: Download csv file from secure web site (https

I am a newbie to Ruby and I created a script to process a file which I
am getting from my local directory. However, in order to obtain this
file, I do a manual login to a secure http site (https) which presents
me with a logon screen where I enter the username and password. After
successful authentication, I am presented with a download page which has
as extension a php page which has a download button to get the file.
After I download on my local Windows Vista machine, I use FileZilla to
place it on the linux server.
How can I automate this in Ruby with open-uri or other extension for
that matter that would enable me to authenticate and get the file
directly on my linux server?
Any insight/code-example will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks so much, -- Alice
