That does help and thank you.
Prior to your post, I was able to get the following working which is 
similar to what you gave me:
---------
uri = URI.parse("https://www.chase.com/")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
response = http.request(request)
puts response.body
response["header-here"] # All headers are lowercase
----------
I am able to pull the page from Chase but the https url that I really 
need requires a one time username and password which I am having trouble 
with.

I tried modifying the uri to be:
---------
uri = URI.parse("https://myusername:mypassword@www.myurl.com/")
---------

but that didn't work so I tried adding this which I got from Google:
---------
http.basic_auth("username", "password")
---------

Am I proceeding down the right path with the authentication?

thanks

jack
