if I use Net::HTTP.new, I get the same so Net::HTTP.newobj is

Thanks emmanuel (why directly thought?) you put me on the right track
I should have used Net:HTTP like:

require "Net/http"
Net::HTTP.version_1_2
val=Net::HTTP.newobj("localhost","4800")
val.start
p val.get("/PLAY?p=passw")
#=>[#<Net::HTTPOK 200 readbody=true>, "1"]
#starts playing song

p val.get("/GETCURRENTTITLE?p=passwd")
#=>[#<Net::HTTPOK 200 readbody=true>, "2499. Carmina Burana - O Fortuna"]
#gets the song data

Now not only works, but also gives me the needed response!

And thanks to the stdlib project, help me quite a bit in http.rb:
