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 of file reached (EOFError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:135:in `rbuf_fill'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:116:in `readuntil'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:126:in `readline'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:2219:in `read_status_line'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:2208:in `read_new'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1191:in `transport_request'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1177:in `request'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:888:in `get'' from restAPI_get_yahoo_httproxy.rb:21:in `block in <main>'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:627:in `start'' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:490:in `start'' from restAPI_get_yahoo_httproxy.rb:18:in `<main>'' Please help me.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
