Subject: how to get rpm file with ruby ?

Neither of the methods below are able to download this rpm file. If
you use firefox it works fine, how can I do this in ruby as part of a
install script I am trying to write in ruby ?

--------------------

require 'net/http'

Net::HTTP.start("apt.sw.be") { |http|
  resp = http.get("/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS//rpmforge-
release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm")
  open("postgis.rpm", "wb") { |file|
    file.write(resp.body)
   }
}
