When IE (or any other web browser for that matter)  makes the
request, it is sending data via an HTTP GET or HTTP POST request.
If you send the correct arguments, you will recieve the data you
are looking for.  You want something like this for an HTTP GET
request:

response =3D nil
body =3D nil

Net::HTTP.start('www.google.com', 80) { |http|
  response, body =3D http.get('/search?q=3DHTTP+GET')
}

body.scan(/<img\ssrc=3D"(.*?)"/i) { |x|
  puts x
}

Where q=3DHTTP+GET is the query string.  In the comments for net/http.rb,
there are also instructions for using HTTP POST to send a request.
(starting line 42 in 1.6.7)

You can tell which type of request you need to make by looking at the
source for the page you are coming from, especially the <form> element.
