Subject: Simple http.get() script fails

Hi,

Using a simple test script to get Google's start page HTML gives me the
following error:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in
`initialize': getaddrinfo: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
(SocketError)
  from
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in
`open'


The script is:

USERAGENT = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US;
rv:1.9.0.10) ' +
            'Gecko/2009042315 Firefox/3.0.10'

http = Net::HTTP.new( 'http://www.google.com' )

res = http.get( '/', {
  'User-Agent' => USERAGENT,
  'Accept' => '*/*',
  'Accept-Language' => 'en-us,en,q=0.5',
  'accept-encoding' => 'gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3',
  'Connection' => 'keep-alive',
  'Keep-Alive' => '115'
} )

puts res.body


Googling for it shows some results stating the there was an error with
OS X 10.5.3 (I'm using 10.6.2) but I find hard to believe that the error
is still there in such a core library, so the problem must be in my
code.

Can anyone provide some light on this? Thanks !
