Here's a recap of what's going on: I had no problems with the open() call for almost two days, but then suddenly it stopped working. I have no problems with my internet connection and the site I want to reach is definitely up. I've tried this test from three difeerent locations with the same result. Regarding Eric Hodel's question, I'm not sure if I am behind a proxy (or firewall for that matter). How can I find out? Also, are there other ways of testing something like this in Ruby? Will it help to upgrade to 1.8.5? Thanks again. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
