Hi

          I am trying to get a webpage using this code

require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.start('www.rubyinside.com') do |http|
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/test.txt')
puts http.request(req).body
end

I am using ruby1.8.4 on windows XP platform
but it is giving error like

c:/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `initialize': Bad file
descriptor - connect(2) (Errno::EBADF)
  from c:/apps/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `connect'
