Thats I am doing. if you chek the code what I've mentioned on the top 
you can find that. but it seems not working for IE. I know some code 
like as below mentioned in the net which I found but very confusing 
which one I need to call

#!/bin/ruby
#
#
#
#
#
# set TEMPIF=%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
# %TEMPIF%\Content.IE5\Index.DAT


require 'Win32API'

#
#
# HashMethods = a Hash that can be accessed with methods
#   e.g.    h = MethodHash.new
#           h['street'] = 'Broadway'
#           h.street    = 'Broadway'
#           puts h.street  ===> Broadway

require 'delegate'

class MethodHash < SimpleDelegator
    def initialize h = {}
        super h
    end

    def method_missing(method_name, *args)
        name = method_name.to_s
        if name.ends_with?('=')
            self[ name.chop ] = args[0]
        else
            self[ name ]
        end
    end
end


class String
    def ends_with?(substr)
        len = substr.length
        self.reverse() [0 .. len-1].reverse == substr
    end

    def starts_with?(substr)
        len = substr.length
        self[0 .. len-1] == substr
    end

    alias start_with?  starts_with?
    alias begin_with?  starts_with?
    alias begins_with? starts_with?
    alias end_with?    ends_with?

    # String each() operator reads line-by-line
    # These functions return characters
    def each_char
        self.each_byte{|x| yield x.chr }
    end
    def collect_char
        r = []
        self.each_byte{|x| r << x.chr }
        r
