Subject: how to get an IO object for the response from an HTTP get?

Hi,

I'd like to get an IO object instead of a string for the response of
an HTTP get.  I am using the Net/HTTP library but it seems to only
want to give me a string.  I have a situation where the response can
be quite large and do not want the whole response to have to be in
memory.

Is it possible to get an IO object for the response without putting
the whole response in memory?

thanks,
Tim
