in `escape': undefined method `gsub' for #<URI::HTTP:0x007fa07cb01e08> (NoMethodError) - ruby-on-rails

Question

Hi I am trying to scrape a web page "take the links" go to that links and "to scrape it" too.
require 'rubygems'
require 'scrapi'
require 'uri'
Scraper::Base.parser :html_parser
web = "http://......"
def sub_web(linksubweb)
uri = URI.parse(URI.encode(linksubweb))
end
scraper = Scraper.define do
array :items
process "div.mozaique>div", :items => Scraper.define {
process "p>a", :title => :text
process "div.thumb>a", :link => "#href"
result :title, :link,
}
result :items
end
uri = URI.parse(URI.encode(web))
scraper.scrape(uri).each do |pag|
link_full = uri + pag.link.to_str
puts pag.title
sub_web(link_full)
puts
end
And I have the following error
e $stdout.sync=true;$stderr.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) /Users/sss/web/app/views/admin/topics/webconector.rb

try using uri = URI.parse(URI.encode(linksubweb.to_s)) this should work. The problem is that method requires a string argument so you have to first convert the URI::HTTP object into string.
