[Wtr-general] Testing a url that results in IE loading the Acrobat Reader plugin

[Charley Baker]

There doesn't appear to be anything inherently useful without looking at the
actual api. Btw, I'd highly recommend this library when looking at win32ole
objects, it's pretty slick:
win32ole pretty print
http://rubyforge.org/projects/win32ole-pp

If you do use the win32ole pretty print library you could hack out a check
that the string returned by ie.ie.document.to_s contains IAcroAXDocShim.
Hacky, but without looking at it more.....
