If you want to get a better grasp on how HTTP actually works under the hood, I highly recommend trying to build a simple GET request yourself without relying on any HTTP client (not even Net::HTTP) - just pure TCPSocket and IO. In short, all you need to do is construct the request headers correctly and stream the socket response into a buffer until you hit the EOF marker.</p>
