Http io?

Ruby
1

I am developing a streaming client in ruby, so far so good… now I am
trying
to get Net::HTTP to behave like an IO with no luck. I need Net::HTTP to
read
the headers as it usually does but stop at before reading the body of
the
page so I can read the stream in chunks and feed them to the player.

I read this article

http://redhanded.hobix.com/inspect/theStoryOfStreamingHttpThroughMouseholeWithSubsequentAdventuresInContinuationsAndDuckTyping.html

but I can’t get it to work.

any help is appreciated…

open-uri can help you - although you won’t see headers

require ‘open-uri’
=> true
open(“Google”) {|io| p io.read }

Kind regards
