Try this for doing basic auth.

require 'net/http'
class Fetch
      attr_reader :headers, :data
      def initialize (loc, port, url,unpw=nil)
          @loc=loc
          @port=port
          @url=url
          @unpw=unpw
          @headers=""
          @data=""
      end
      def get()
        h=Net::HTTP.new(@loc,@port)
        begin
             unpwd=@unpw
             if @unpw
                 z=[unpwd].pack("m")
                 unpwd={'Authorization' => 'Basic ' + z }
             end
             resp, data = h.get(@url,unpwd)
             @headers=""
             resp.each {|key, val| @headers.concat("#{key}:  #{val}\n")}
             @data=data
        rescue Net::ProtoFatalError => detail
             head = detail.data
             head.each {|key,val| puts "#{key}    #{val}"}
             if head.code=="404"
                 puts "File not Found"
             elsif head.code=="401"
                 print "Authorization Required\n User name?"
                 gets
                 uname=$_.chomp
                 print "Password?"
                 gets
                 pwd=$_.chomp
                 @unpwd=uname + ":" + pwd
                 hval=[unpw].pack("m")
                 @unpwd={'Authorization' => 'Basic ' + hval}
                 retry
             end
        rescue SystemCallError
             puts "Can't connect"
        end
      end
end
x=Fetch.new('loc', port, 'path','optional user:password')
x.get
puts x.headers
puts x.data
