Hi,

I want to run simple code:

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

but I’ve got following error:

A request to send or receive data was disallawed because the socket is  
not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto  
call) no address was supplied. (Errno::ENOTCONN).

Is it because im behind proxy ?

How to make code run smoothly ?

Thx

Look at Net::HTTP::Proxy
