Subject: Timeout errors using Net::HTTP on Windows

Hi all,

I'm having a problem here running some file upload code on Windows. I've
installed Ruby 1.8.6 from the one-click installer on Windows 2000 Server
in VMware and on real hardware with Windows XP. The client, when running
on Windows, always times/errors out no matter what. Here's the error:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2094:in `error!': 408 "Request Timeout
" (Net::HTTPServerException)
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2103:in `value'
        from put_client.rb:25:in `upload_file'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:543:in `start'
        from put_client.rb:20:in `upload_file'
        from put_client.rb:30

Here is the client code that is causing the problems:

<client>
require 'net/https'

def upload_file url, file
  uri = URI.parse url
  http = Net::HTTP.new uri.host, uri.port
  if uri.scheme == 'https'
    http.use_ssl = true
    http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
  end

  if file.respond_to? :read
    file.rewind
    stream = file
    length = File.size file.path
  else
    stream = File.open file
    length = File.size file
  end

  http.start do
    req                 = Net::HTTP::Put.new uri.path
    req.body_stream     = stream
    req.content_length  = length
    resp = http.request req
    resp.value
  end
end

if __FILE__ == $0
  upload_file "http://localhost:8443/junk", ARGV.shift
end
</client>

Here is some server code I was using to test:

<server>
require 'webrick'

s = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => 8443)

class PutServlet < WEBrick::HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet
   def do_PUT(req, res)
     res['Content-Type'] = "text/html"
     res.body = "Uploaded #{req.body}"
   end
end

s.mount("/", PutServlet)
trap("INT"){ s.shutdown }
s.start
</server>

This only happens on Windows and it happens irrespective of the web
server involved. I've tried this on Mac OS X (WEBrick and nginx) and it
works fine. Running the client on Windows, though, I've tried this
against WEBrick and nginx and both exhibit the same behavior when
running the client from Windows.

Any ideas? Thanks.
