  Why do a couple of articles in that feed say either "Unable to parse this page for content" (daringfireball.net) or "unable to retrieve full-text content" (nytimes.com)?

    it's still just a weekend project, but if everyone keeps throwing love at it like this, it might be more than a weekend project. he's working on it now. :)

The content thieves will love it too. This makes it much easier to automatically copy content.

  Not really. I can Right Click -> Copy XPath in Firebug's element inspector then just Nokogiri::HTML(page_source).xpath('/blah') to get at it. You can do it with the CSS selector as well. :) Setting up a quick script to rip all the content from another site is trivial. There's also wget -m

    I literally cannot get nokogiri set up on my Mac for love nor money, I'm a noob whose been trying for a week or two. Tried everything. Its preventing me from running tests. Damn xmllibs2.

      Install MacPorts: http://www.macports.org http://www.macports.org Add /opt/local/bin to your PATH (bashrc or zshrc or whatever you use). sudo port install libxml2 and sudo port install libxslt Then sudo gem install nokogiri --no-rdoc --no-ri should run with no issues. That's all I had to do for the system ruby (1.8.7 on OSX 10.6) and 1.9.2 via rvm.

        So it turned out it was webrat that was the problem, but your instructions actually fixed the problem! I'd researched for hours previously. Genuinely much appreciated!

      Do you have XCode installed? Nokogiri is a native extension, I don't think you can build them without the compiler tools installed.
      - geoffw8 16y ago
        Yes I do. I'll look into this, thanks!
