I don't know how to put this any more clearly.

I, for one, don't know enough about network programming with Ruby to be
able to answer your question effectively.  That aside, however, a better
version of your previous email would have said this instead:

  I did but do you recommend another to access the web that is as fast
  as sockets?

Once a password is passed into public viewing, your *first priority*
should always be to change it.  It's not something to get around to
later -- it's something to do first.  In fact, if you haven't already
done so by this point, chances are good someone is already making
malicious use of your password (unless you're absurdly lucky).  Jason
wasn't just being mean when he emphasized the importance of changing
your password "NOW".  He's trying to help you avoid the consequences of
a very serious error.
