Subject: [BUG] undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass

Hi

When I try to run one of my rake where I read body from my response,
each time I've got this error message:

.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-head/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:2788:in
`stream_check': undefined method `closed?' for nil:NilClass
(NoMethodError)

I checked that place and there is:

2788       raise IOError, 'attempt to read body out of block' if @socket.closed?

to fix the problem I just change it to:

2788       raise IOError, 'attempt to read body out of block' if
@socket and @socket.closed?

I found few similar problems on some forums but it was in different
places but the bugfix is always the same, check @socket before
@socket.closed?
There is also few more place in http.rb where @socked.closed? appear
with checking @socket:

1335       connect if @socket.closed?
...
1344       if @socket.closed?

I am not sure but it will be good to fix them all.

Best regards
