I don't understand your problem. The path you should request is simply '
/search?q=ruby'. The headers are used for something quite different, like
sending client-info to the server etc. See for example the RFC-2068 (HTTP
1.1) at http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2068.html#sec-14.42 for
more information.
