I tried with your example with 2.7.0-preview1 and it is either not leaking or not leaking enough to be measurable in my tests.  Can you try again with 2.7.0-preview1 and see if the leak has been resolved in your environment?

Hello,

I'm observing a memory leak in net/http with the following script :

~~~
require "net/http"
require "bundler/inline"

gemfile do
  gem "memory_profiler"
end

def profile_http_get(n)
  uri = URI("http://www.ruby-lang.org/fr/")
  http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)

  report = MemoryProfiler.report do
    n.times { http.request(Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.path)) }
  end
  report.pretty_print
end
~~~

Here is the MemoryProfiler report when n is 10 :
