Subject: Accessing  Kernel namespace from within classes...

Hi all

Hoping someone could tell me the answer to the following.

I have a class defined in a file: TestWebsite. The main program  
requires the 'net/http' library and also the TestWebsite file. The  
class "TestWebsite" contains several class methods that use things  
such as "Net::HTTP.get_response()" however I get the following errors:

/net/http.rb:380:in `get_response': undefined method `request_uri'  
for #<URI::Generic:0x2d3b9c URL:example.com> (NoMethodError)
         from /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:543:in `start'
         from /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:379:in `get_response'
         from ./test_website.rb:10:in `test'

It's my guess the the class methods aren't able to access the net/ 
http library which is in the kernel namespace, if this is true then  
what must I do to allow them access?

Many thanks,

Gabriel
