I have an error connecting in Ruby to the URL listed below, even though the URL exists. Why is that?

1.9.3p194 :003 > require 'uri'
 => true 
1.9.3p194 :004 > require 'net/http'
 => true 
1.9.3p194 :005 > url = "https://blogs.oracle.com/ksplice/entry/introducing_redpatch"
 => "https://blogs.oracle.com/ksplice/entry/introducing_redpatch" 
1.9.3p194 :006 > url_parsed = URI.parse(url)
 => #<URI::HTTPS:0x00000001939288 URL:https://blogs.oracle.com/ksplice/entry/introducing_redpatch> 
1.9.3p194 :007 > response = Net::HTTP.get_response(url_parsed)
Errno::ECONNRESET: Connection reset by peer

    Rather than use Net::HTTP, simplify your life and use Ruby’s OpenURI. Unless you need low-level control or visibility of low-level values, you’ll find OpenURI is good enough:

    require 'open-uri'
url = "https://blogs.oracle.com/ksplice/entry/introducing_redpatch"
open(url).read.size
=> 35493
