Subject: Ruby/OpenSSL bug?

The following program hangs indefinitely, blocking the whole script. I would
expect it to gracefully return an error.

  require 'webrick'
  require 'net/https'

  s = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => 5555)

  s.mount_proc("/") do |req, resp|
    resp.body = "Hi"
  end

  t = Thread.new do
    s.start
  end

  h = Net::HTTP.new('localhost', 5555)
  h.use_ssl = true
  h.head('/')

  s.stop
  t.join

Note calling #head on an HTTP object pointing at an SSL server does fine.
I'm running:

  ruby 1.8.1 (2003-10-31) [i386-linux]

Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide. It would
be great if this could be fixed before the release of 1.8.1.

Thanks,


Nathaniel
