I'm trying to read in the html of a certain website.

Trying @something = open("http://www.google.com/") fails with the following error:

Errno::ENOENT in testController#show

No such file or directory - http://www.google.com/

Going to http://www.google.com/, I obviously see the site. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
