Hi,

I try to access an .Net webservice which is accessible via HTTP POST  
and GET. Using a browser this works just fine, but using Net::HTTP  
causes a timeout in rbuf\_fill. Any hint how to debug this? Or is it a  
know problem with MS ISS? I didn’t find anything using  
[groups.google.com](http://groups.google.com). Here is my code:

Net::HTTP.get\_print URI.parse(‘[https://secure](https://secure)…url which works fine  
in browser…’)

regards,  
Achim

Are you enabling ssl? Try the following sample code from the  
documentation  
embedded in net/https.rb

```
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

uri = URI.parse(ARGV[0] || 'https://localhost/')
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true if uri.scheme == "https" # enable SSL/TLS
http.start {
  http.request_get(uri.path) {|res|
    print res.body
  }
}

```
