I can confirm on my machine:

lukfugl@hephaestus:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux]
lukfugl@hephaestus:~$ cat test.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 $stdin.eof?
lukfugl@hephaestus:~$ ruby test.rb
true

One note: the first time I ran it, I thought it was waiting for input
too, but it was really just a few second delay while fetching
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/license.txt.
