I'll take a look at it if I have some time soon, but
no promises.  I'm just a random ruby user, and I 
happened to need to use the Net::Telnet module today.
This is how I came to notice the problem, and why I
then fixed it.

I imagine that hanging http connections would be much
harder to debug than telnet sessions, since some of
the hanging might very well be due to vagaries of the
httpd server, its site, the specific pages accessed,
etc.

Could you post some code which reliably demonstrates the
Net::Http problems that you're referring to?  Perhaps
one of the readers here might have some ideas as to what
the problem would be, and what would have to be done
to Net::Http in order to fix it.
