I'm wondering, based on this exchange, whether my detailed messages
documenting my inability to use net/http in either 1.6.2 or in 1.7.0
on a Win2k box have been propagated.

I feel rather discouraged in my attempts to use Ruby in Windows.  I
had hoped to use Ruby where I have been using Perl.  But portability
is definitely one of my concerns.  Until I can use Ruby standard
libraries across platforms, the language will have to remain a lovely
curiosity for me.
