Rails - May 2011 - read_nonblock': end of file reached (EOF Error)

I have written a program to consume a Restful Service from yahoo, and
I am landed with this error.

I am using Net/HTTP library for this,

My program is as follows

require ''net/http''

APPLICATION_ID = ''XIM4jgY6YIrOoB''
YAHOO_WEB_SERVICE_SEARCH_URL = ''http://search.yahooapis.com/
WebSearchService/V1/webSearch''
query = ''world cup 2011''
results_limit = 10

proxy_addr = ''MyProxy''
proxy_port = 80
proxy_name = "MyName"
proxy_pass = "MyPassword"
path = "?appid=#{APPLICATION_ID}&query=#{URI.encode(query)}
&results=#{results_limit}"

Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_addr, roxy_port, proxy_name,
proxy_pass ).start( YAHOO_WEB_SERVICE_SEARCH_URL ) do |http|
  response = http.get(path)
  puts response.body
end

When I run this program, I am getting this error on which I have no
clue, but the same works with browser

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:135:in `read_nonblock'': end

	from restAPI_get_yahoo_httproxy.rb:18:in `<main>''

Please help me....
