Sends a GET request to the target and returns the HTTP response as a Net::HTTPResponse object. The target can either be specified as (uri, headers), or as (host, path, port = 80); so:

Example

res = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI('http://www.example.com/index.html'))
print res.body

or:

Example

res = Net::HTTP.get_response('www.example.com', '/index.html')
print res.body

you can also specify request headers:

Example

Net::HTTP.get_response(URI('http://www.example.com/index.html'), { 'Accept' => 'text/html' })
