Subject: net/http and binary files

I'm using the code from the example
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/index.html for the
http/net  library:

    File.open('result.txt', 'w') {|f|
      http.get('/~foo/') do |str|
        f.write str
      end
    }


This works fine for html files. But for binary files the result is a
corrupted file.
I've run this in the console:
>> Net::HTTP.start('localhost', 80){|http|File.open('result.mp3', 'w'){|f|http.g
et('/crocodil2/adrian.mp3') {|str|f.write str}}}
=> #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

The mp3 files is corrupted. It does not seem to be base64 encoded...
help please.
