I can't offer to give you one or the other first because they are the same news item, and either good or bad depending on the way you look at it, so here goes: It works for me. (I'm running Linux (Recent Debian).) Maybe some Windowsy type of Ruby expert can help you more... surely Net::HTTP works on XP! Maybe try cygwin's ruby port? Anyone running Windows should be running Cygwin, anyway, in my opinion. -rking
