I've tried the above with the following:
user_agent = 'Ruby Net::HTTP'
print "Getting h\n"
h = Net::HTTP.new('http://www.google.com', 80)
print "getting response\n"
resp, data = h.get('/', {"User-Agent"=>user_agent})
print data.body
print resp
print "should've printed\n"

and all it gives me is:
SocketError: getaddrinfo: No address associated with nodename
