    <p>Hey--I'm writing a basic Rails app that uses the digg API. I'm trying to parse the xml data that digg's api provides with hpricot, but when testing the page, the browser hangs until I eventually catch the Timeout::Error exception.</p> <p>Here's the code for the controller:</p> <pre><code>require 'rubygems' require 'hpricot' require 'open-uri' appkey = 'http://mportiz08.homeip.net/twigg' query = CGI::escape(params[:id].gsub('_', ' ').gsub('#', '')) @request = 'http://services.digg.com/search/stories?query=' + query + '&amp;appkey=' + appkey @response = Hpricot( open(@request) ) </code></pre> <p>And here's the stack trace:</p> <pre><code>/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60:in `rbuf_fill' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:134:in `rbuf_fill' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:116:in `readuntil' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:126:in `readline' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2020:in `read_status_line' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2009:in `read_new' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1050:in `request' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:248:in `open_http' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:543:in `start' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:242:in `open_http' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:616:in `buffer_open' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:164:in `open_loop' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:162:in `catch' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:162:in `open_loop' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:132:in `open_uri' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:518:in `open' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:30:in `open' /home/marcus/dev/ruby/twigg/app/controllers/stories_controller.rb:15:in `view' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/base.rb:1327:in `send' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/base.rb:1327:in `perform_action_without_filters' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/filters.rb:617:in `call_filters' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/filters.rb:610:in `perform_action_without_benchmark' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/benchmarking.rb:68:in `perform_action_without_rescue' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/benchmarking.rb:68:in `perform_action_without_rescue' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/rescue.rb:160:in `perform_action_without_flash' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/flash.rb:146:in `perform_action' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/base.rb:527:in `send' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/base.rb:527:in `process_without_filters' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/filters.rb:606:in `process' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/base.rb:391:in `process' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/base.rb:386:in `call' /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.3/lib/action_controller/routing/route_set.rb:434:in `call' </code></pre> <p>I'm just learning Rails, and I can't figure out what's going on. Any ideas as to why this is happening? </p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I tried the same exact process with a locally saved xml file, and it worked perfectly--the problem might have something to do with open-uri and the remote xml</p>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
