The irb example should have been:

irb(main):001:0> require 'socket';
irb(main):002:0* s = TCPSocket.new( 'www.google.com', 80 )
=> #<TCPSocket:0x2dc41c8>
irb(main):003:0> s.shutdown unless s.closed?
=> 0
irb(main):004:0> s.puts "/GET"
Errno::EINVAL: Invalid argument
         from (irb):4:in `write'
         from (irb):4:in `puts'
         from (irb):4
irb(main):005:0>
