UrlInfoExtractor

The library helps you extracting some metadata out of HTML URLs.

Usage

% gem install url_info_extractor

require 'url_info_extractor'
infos = UrlInfoExtractor.new('http://rubygems.org')
puts infos.title
# RubyGems.org | your community gem host
puts infos.favicon_url
# http://rubygems.org/favicon.ico
puts infos.favicon_exists?
# true
puts infos.description
#

Note that the favicon handling determines the URL by link-rel-icon tag and base tag. favicon_exists? does an HTTP HEAD request to check whether the icon is available at the determined path.
