[open-uri] cannot parse correctly a file with a dot inside the filename ...

I have some big issue in opening one file ...

currently I am writing

require 'open-uri' ..       io = open(URI.parse(thumbnail_url))       def io.original_filename; base_uri.path.split('/').last; end       io.original_filename.blank? ? nil : io

this one ( and similar) open very well thumbnail_url = "http://video.vertexdigitalsports.com//sitehome/site41/ userUpload/ID7bcfa7ff-63d0-4564-ad22-5c7a233d4890/ JoeFBVideo2328_thumbnail.png"

I get #<File:/var/folders/NK/NKfWCW3eEVCg0ERnpPsnME+++TI/-Tmp-/open- uri20110614-5150-1frj7ah>

but trying to open this one .. ( there is a dot in the filename ... thumbnail_url = "http://video.vertexdigitalsports.com//sitehome/site41/ userUpload/ID856657ea-1f86-4937-904c-04852ca94ad1/ PerformanceManagementVideoVer1.32430_thumbnail.png"

I get #<StringIO:0x0000010702e15> and this raises an exception in my app..

I tried to use 'addressable/uri)

require 'addressable/uri' uri = Addressable::URI.parse(thumbnail_url) open(uri.normalize.to_s) {|f| p f.status } => ["200", "OK"] then io = open(uri.normalize.to_s) {|f| f.read } but this is not right ...

what should I rather write ?

thanks for your feedback
