Download multiple XML files - ruby

Question

I'm writing an application to parse XML. I have to obtain data from one XML file, and then in a loop I have to open another XML file.
The code looks like this:
$doc = Nokogiri::XML(open('myxmladress'))
$doc.xpath('//job').each do |job|
if job.xpath('name').text.include?('joe')
$doc2 = Nokogiri::XML(open('myxmladress_for_joe'))
end
end
I believe that I cannot have multiple HTTP connections open.
Can I simply download the whole file instead of using
$doc Nokogiri::XML(open('myxmladress'))
or is there any way to close the Nokogiri HTTP connection?
What is more I'm downloading it by https.
My error:

Answer 1

You are using OpenUri to fetch a document from a URL. I am pretty sure that this doesn't leave any open connection, but reads the document into an IO like object, kind of like a file.
Your problem seems to be that the server has had an internal error.
