I just upgraded to Ruby 1.8.5 to see if it would make a difference,  
but I still don't get prompted for input and it still tells me $stdin  
is closed:

Firefly:~/Desktop$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i686-darwin8.8.1]
Firefly:~/Desktop$ cat stdin_eof_issue.rb
require 'net/http'
require 'io/wait'

Net::HTTP.start('www.ruby-lang.org', 80) do |http|
   body = http.get('/en/license.txt').body
end
p $stdin.eof?
Firefly:~/Desktop$ ruby stdin_eof_issue.rb
true
