def start # :yield: http
raise IOError, 'HTTP session already opened' if @started
if block_given?

self
end
Starts an HTTP session.
Without a block, returns self:
Example
http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname) # => #<Net::HTTP jsonplaceholder.typicode.com:80 open=false> http.start # => #<Net::HTTP jsonplaceholder.typicode.com:80 open=true> http.started? # => true http.finish
With a block, calls the block with self, finishes the session when the block exits, and returns the block’s value:
Example
http.start do |http| http end # => #<Net::HTTP jsonplaceholder.typicode.com:80 open=false> http.started? # => false
