Downloading via Net::HTTP in 1.6 and 1.7

ruby-talk

I’m using the following code to download a file via HTTP in 1.6:

h = Net::HTTP.new(host, port)
resp = h.get2(path)
name = File.basename(path)
File.open(name, 'w') {|f| f.write(resp.body)}

Yet I’ve got reports that this doesn’t work in 1.7. Is there a way
that works in both versions?

pigeon% cat b.rb
#!./ruby -v
require 'net/http'
host, port, path = 'www.ruby-lang.org', 80, '/en/index.html'

resp = h.get2(path)
