Subject: Problem with Flickr API and net/http

I'm writing an app that uses the flickr api via http requests.  I can't
figure out if the problem I'm having is the way I'm implementing this
with net/http or simply a problem with the flickr api.  My code looks
like this:

xml_data = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url)).body
Hpricot(xml_data)

I know the url is valid, because I can paste the url directly in to my
browser and I get valid xml from flickr.  But when I issue this code in
my app, I get a blank response.  xml_data is an empty string every time
and I can't figure out why.  Am I requesting a response incorrectly?
Anyone have any idea?
