Problems with Net::HTTP.get

[Marek Kubica]

Hello!

I've been happily writing a smaller program in Ruby (I can't write bigger
programs, as I'm just starting with Ruby) when a problem hit me. So I made
a smaller version of the program which shows the same problem:

The code is:

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
source = Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse('http://www.google.de/'))
puts source

Looks pretty basic. But the problem is: it never gets to the last line! It
hangs on the Net::HTTP.get. I've also tried Net::FTP and it hasn't worked
either. I guess it could be a problem with socket.so, that's why I tested
multible versions of the Ruby interpreter:

1.8.1-mswin32: does not work
1.8.1-mingw32: does not work
1.8.2-mswin32: does not work
1.8.2-mingw32: does not work
1.8.2-one-click-installer(mswin32): does not work

I've tried this on Windows XP SP2 and it does not work, but on my Debian
Sarge box it works without any problem. Can somebody help me getting it to
work on Windows?

Thanks in advance!

Marek

Are you behind a proxy? If so there's an overload for HTTP.get...

source =3D Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse('http://www.google.de/'),=20
"proxy.server.here", 80) <http://www.google.de/'))>

No, I'm not. I've even started Packetyzer, a sniffer based on Ethereal and
looked into the packet data: The request is send, the response is 200 (OK)
and the HTML is being sent. But instead of displaying the data, my program
simply hangs
