Subject: Net::HTTP timeouts not respected depending on how it's used?

In my Mac with Leopard, this doesn't respect the 2 seconds timeout
that's set in the code...

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

url = URI.parse("http://222.222.3.234")
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.request_uri)
res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) { |http|
  http.open_timeout = 2
  http.read_timeout = 2
  http.request(req)
}
puts res.body

It times out, but after 1 MINUTE, with this message...
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:564:in
`initialize': Operation timed out - connect(2) (Errno::ETIMEDOUT)

However, the following code works (i.e. it times out after the 2
seconds)...

require 'net/http'

site = Net::HTTP.new("http://222.222.3.234")
site.open_timeout = 2
site.read_timeout = 2
res = site.get2(URI.escape("/"))
puts res.body

After the 2 seconds I get this message
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:54:in
`open': execution expired (Timeout::Error)


Do you know why the timeout is not respected in the first case? (I don't
understand)

Thanks in advance.

Xavi
