Web Server

This is a simple web server in which you can specify a URL web link and it will return a Twitter profile if found on the webpage. Please note that this server only looks at the current page of the link provided and not the entire domain e.g. http://ashwinkachhara.com/contact-3/ will return a Twitter profile link however http://ashwinkachhara.com/ will not.

This server uses Sinatra which is a simple web server gem for Ruby. It also uses the Nokogiri gem which can parse HTML and search through it using (in this project's case) CSS selectors.
