Issue #11322 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA). https://github.com/ruby/open-uri/pull/18 is another approach with `max_redirects` option. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11322: OpenUri: RuntimeError: HTTP redirection loop https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11322#change-105282 * Author: tbsprs (Tobias Preuss) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: akr (Akira Tanaka) ---------------------------------------- Trying to download [this file](http://apps.london.ca/OpenData/ShapeFiles_Zipped/2010_skateboard_parks_shp.z...) from [this website](http://www.london.ca/city-hall/open-data/Pages/Open-Data-Data-Catalogue.aspx) with [`OpenUri`](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.2.2/libdoc/open-uri/rdoc/OpenURI.html) fails with the runtime error "HTTP redirection loop". Here is how I can reproduce the error: ~~~
require 'open-uri' => true
