Nil.strip error While trying to post xml data over https

Rails
1

I am trying to subit some xml data over https to access an API. My code
so far seems to generate a very non-helpful error in the guts of the
net/http library. This code produces a NoMethodError for nil.strip"

require 'net/http'
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

url = URI.parse('www.beautifulpixel.com/index.html')
connection = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, 443)
connection.use_ssl = true

#This is the line that causes an error
response = connection.request(Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path,

request_body))

#The error occured while evaluating nil.strip

from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1138:in

`initialize_http_header’

from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1136:in

`initialize_http_header’

from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1443:in `initialize’

from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1556:in `initialize’

from ./lib/ups_api.rb:74:in `initialize’

from (irb):13

What am I missing here?

I guess that :

irb(main):001:0> require ‘uri’
=> true
irb(main):002:0> URI.parse(‘www.beautifulpixel.com/index.html’).host
=> nil
irb(main):003:0>
URI.parse(‘http://www.beautifulpixel.com/index.html’).host
=> “www.beautifulpixel.com”
irb(main):004:0>
