Overview

A UrlGroup is a collection of related URLs, for example the URL for a search tool, with several search queries. The group is weighted (and reported on) as a whole, but individual requests are made with random elements from an array of extensions.

urls = UrlGroup.new(20, "http://www.example.com/search?",
        ["foo", "bar", "baz"])

#to_url(seed = nil) ⇒ Object

to_url returns a complete URL to be requested. It takes an optional seed argument, which must be a Fixnum. If given, this will seed the random selection of the extension.

urls.to_url(1234)  # => "http://www.example.com/search?baz"
