Are you enabling ssl? Try the following sample code from the documentation
embedded in net/https.rb

    require 'net/https'
    require 'uri'

    uri = URI.parse(ARGV[0] || 'https://localhost/')
    http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
    http.use_ssl = true if uri.scheme == "https"  # enable SSL/TLS
    http.start {
      http.request_get(uri.path) {|res|
        print res.body
      }
    }
