From: 7stud -- Date: 2012-09-08T05:51:36+09:00 Subject: Re: nokogiri/ruby and troublesome characters in url Are you testing your code by inserting an href by hand, something like this: inner_url = 'https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl' + /something/zk?x=10&y=5 That produces the error: unknown regexp options - zk The reason for that error is that /something/ is the syntax for a regex literal. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
