Ruby Cookbook Source READMEby Leonard Richardson (leonardr@segfault.org)This source code was extracted automatically from my markup copy ofthe Ruby Cookbook. Every chapter has its own directory, and everyrecipe (and chapter introduction) has its own file.A recipe's file contains the text of that recipe that the bookpresents as code. This may not all be Ruby code. Some recipes containSQL, XML, shell commands, or C code. Sections of code (separated, inthe book, by text), are here separated by a comment that looks likethis:#---The code is from the pre-edit final draft. Thus, there are severalchanges between the code contained here and what you see in thebook. I don't know where these changes are but I'm fairly sure they'reall minor. Let me know if you find any.I've skimmed this presentation of the code to check for obviousproblems, but there may be code in the book that didn't get extractedby my script. Again, let me know if you have any problems with thecode.This code incorporates fixes for the two errata published onO'Reilly's site as of July 17, 2006: "Query strings in fetched URLsare stripped (14.3, 14.20)" and "No need to override Logger::Formatterto change the log format (17.5)".
