From: Erik Date: 2007-04-04T04:58:35+09:00 Subject: Net::HTTP.get_response hangs with particular url This seems bizar, the first get_response() to apple.com goes fine, the 2nd hangs indefinitely. It hangs on two different machines in different network segments. require 'net/http' require 'uri' response = Net::HTTP.get_response( URI.parse('http://www.apple.com') ) puts response.class # Net::HTTPOK puts response.code # 200 response = Net::HTTP.get_response( URI.parse('http://content.digitalwell.washington.edu/isilon/1/8/45/459ffc6f-3f91-46f5-af58-155791dad3b4.mp3') ) puts response.class puts response.code (I have no affiliation with the hanging url, it's just a url to I came across in my server logs while processing RSS feed enclosures).
