Why are you assuming it's leaking without giving the GC a chance to run?

require 'net/http'

3.times do
  Net::HTTP.start('www.google.com') do |http|
    http_response = http.get '/'
  end

  p ObjectSpace.each_object(Net::HTTPResponse){}
end

p "Force GC"
ObjectSpace.garbage_collect
p ObjectSpace.each_object(Net::HTTPResponse){}

C:\>ruby test.rb
1
2
3
"Force GC"
