title: How to visit a URL with Ruby via http and read the output?
body: <p>So far I have been able to stitch this together :)</p>
  
  <pre><code> begin
    open("http://www.somemain.com/" + path + "/" + blah)
   rescue OpenURI::HTTPError
     @failure += painting.permalink
   else
     @success += painting.permalink
   end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But how do I read the output of the service that I would be calling? </p>
