It works for me, as written, and I'm using ruby 1.8.6. I believe the API 
for net/http changed a little between versions. I don't remember the 
exact change, but try this variation:

require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.start('www.rubyinside.com') do |http|
         res = http.get('/test.txt')
         puts res.body
end

Also try ".get2" instead of ".get". Good luck.
