Use net/https to connect over ssl...

require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

uri = URI.parse('https://adwords.google.com')

http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
# http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE # Not setting this
explicitly will result in an error and the value being set anyway
response = http.get('/')
p response
