Subject: Re: Any function similar to PHP's file_get_contents() ?

To avoid this, you could simply write

document = open 'http://www.example.com/', &:read

This is actually the shortened version of

document = open 'http://www.example.com/' {|f| f.read}

Ruby also has an "auto close" feature:

Maybe this also works for URIs.
