Subject: Re: Net::HTTP

The version of Ruby running on both machines is Ruby 1.8.2 <2004-12-25> 
[i386mswin32]

The program does not throw an exception.  It just hangs.  Also I've 
tried going through network cards
of different manufacture and it makes no difference.
Also turning off the antivirus program and firewall programs make no 
difference either.
Any recommendations as how go go about figuring out where it is hanging?
