h2region.speck - star forming regions

[jdmcpeek]

This one's pretty easy, we should be able to use the general parser.

I added the task to parser.rake, but no rake tasks are working. Every task encounters the Nil:NilClass error. I'm wondering if the rakefile just isn't getting the speck data (hence a Nil error) through Net::HTTP/ research.amnh.org. Will we need to traverse that firewall again?

(in parser.rake)
desc "Generic Parser for speck files"
task :generic, [:file_name, :model_class] => :environment do |task, args|
spec_uri = "/users/abbott/dudata/milkyway/specks/#{args.file_name}"
spec_file = Tempfile.new('speck')
Net::HTTP.start("research.amnh.org") do |http|
resp = http.get(spec_uri)
open(spec_file, "wb") do |file|
file.write(resp.body)
end
end

@surenm @wallyqs should this block of code still work?
