Subject: [ruby-talk:21414] Net::HTTP.get not returning data (1.7.1, ok in 1.6.4)

Almost directly from the Pickaxe book:

require 'net/http'
h = Net::HTTP.new('www.pragmaticprogrammer.com', 80)
resp,data = h.get('/index.html', nil)
puts resp.code
puts data # data is nil

However, data is returned as nil.

If I use a block after h.get I see data.

What's going on here? I'm using Ruby from the CVS:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.7.1 (2001-09-08) [i686-linux]

Note that this works OK in ruby 1.6.4 .
