Love it. Apparently that server is rather picky about the requests it's
willing to service :-) Thank you, Treasury Department!
Anyway, try:
>> doc = Hpricot(open(url, "User-Agent" => "MSIE"))
=> #<Hpricot::Doc "\r\n" {doctype "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD
XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\" \...
Note: this also works :-)
>> doc = Hpricot(open(url, "User-Agent" => "Zombies from Space"))
(A look through the open-uri docs will be useful for future reference.)
FWIW,
