Subject: Re: Proxy Server troubles

I gave it a quick run. I had to change
  local_host = nil
so that it would bind and fixed the line wrap in the posted code. 
Telnetted to port 8080 on localhost and hit enter twice and it came 
back with a lot of html from slashdot. So it works on

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [powerpc-darwin]

Can't see anything obviously wrong. Do you have a transparent proxy or 
anything between you and the site as this can cause havoc?
