HTTP IO??

[Horacio Sanson]

I am developing a streaming client in ruby, so far so good... now I am trying
to get Net::HTTP to behave like an IO with no luck. I need Net::HTTP to read
the headers as it usually does but stop at before reading the body of the
page so I can read the stream in chunks and feed them to the player.

I read this article

http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/...ntAdventuresInContinuationsAndDuckTyping.html

but I can't get it to work.

any help is appreciated.....

open-uri can help you - although you won't see headers

Kind regards
