open(*rest, &block) Instance Public methods #open provides `open' for URI::HTTP and URI::FTP. #open takes optional 3 arguments as: OpenURI::OpenRead#open([mode [, perm]] [, options]) [{|io| ... }] #open returns an IO-like object if block is not given. Otherwise it yields the IO object and return the value of the block. The IO object is extended with OpenURI::Meta. mode and perm are the same as Kernel#open. However, mode must be read mode because #open doesn't support write mod

read(options={}) Instance Public methods #read) reads a content referenced by self and returns the content as string. The string is extended with OpenURI::Meta. The argument options is same as #open.
