Net::HTTP Gives "Insecure Operation" When Using HTTPS

[cwdinfo@…]

Here's the code and the results:

irb(main):002:0> require 'net/https';require 'uri'
=> false
irb(main):003:0> url = URI.parse('https://myverysecuresite.com')
=> #<URI::HTTPS:0x200298e40 URL:https://myverysecuresite.com>
irb(main):004:0> req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path)
core:in `push:': Insecure operation: -r (SecurityError)
	from core:in `gets'

This seems to be fixed in 0.7:

$> macirb
irb(main):001:0> require 'net/https';require 'uri'
=> false
irb(main):002:0> url = URI.parse('https://myverysecuresite.com')
=> #<URI::HTTPS:0x20028fc00 URL:https://myverysecuresite.com>
irb(main):003:0> req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path)
ArgumentError: HTTP request path is empty

Compared to ruby19:

$> irb19
irb(main):001:0> require 'net/https';require 'uri'
=> false
irb(main):002:0> url = URI.parse('https://myverysecuresite.com')
=> #<URI::HTTPS:0x00000102815030 URL:https://myverysecuresite.com>
irb(main):003:0> req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path)
ArgumentError: HTTP request path is empty
