How to use Ruby to clean up, create a session, and run a page on a target site

Question

I am wondering how to use Ruby to clean a website in order to launch a new browser with a loaded landing page. This is necessary because the landing page is not stateless and requires several session parameters.

For an example stream, see how Kayak.com does it. 1. Go to Kayak.com and find a hotel in Chicago by registering on 1/21/2010 and checking on 1/22/2010 2. select the first result and select orbitz 3. The kayak will take you to the reservation page on orbitz. To do this, he must build a session, since orbitz does not have permanent links to the booking page.

Any thoughts on how to do this with Ruby?
