Subject: Ruby HTTP GET Headers

I've looked here: http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/788 and I'm not
really understanding it. I am creating a client for a website, and I
want to set the User-Agent field of the header I am sending. Is there a
simple way to do this or is this along the lines of creating custom HTTP
objects? I've also looked into the open-uri class, but I get this error:
Errno::EHOSTDOWN: Host is down - connect(2)

method initialize  in http.rb at line 560
method open  in http.rb at line 560
method connect  in http.rb at line 560

method open  in open-uri.rb at line 528
method open  in open-uri.rb at line 30
at top level  in rubyheader.rb at line 8

I attached the test file I am working on. Any help would be great.
Thanks.
