I was enjoying this lovely plugin, but it stopped working.
After wasting some time on it, I decided to write the same functionality on my own.
"*****************************************************************************
"" vim-ruby-doc
"*****************************************************************************
" For some reason this plugin doesn't work anymore,
" so I hacked together the same functionality, using its example.
" Replace 'firefox' with whatever command you need instead.

let g:rails_doc_url_template="http://api.rubyonrails.org/?q=%"
let g:rspec_doc_url_template='https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/search?query=%'
function! AnyRDoc(url_template)
if &ft =~ "ruby"
else
return
endif
let s:wordUnderCursor = expand("<cword>")
let s:url = substitute(a:url_template, "%", s:wordUnderCursor, "g")
let s:cmd = "!firefox \"" . s:url . "\""
execute s:cmd
endfunction
