OK, if we can't get this to work, do you definitely get DNS errors
from net/http, or is this an inference based on a hang?
I just played with:
#!shoes
require 'net/http'
Shoes.app{
begin
para Net::HTTP.get URI.parse('http://footlewuddlewix.ent/')
rescue => e
para e.inspect
end
}
and if I don't have the rescue clause I just get a blank app for a nonexistent
domain, but I do get useful info in the shoes console (<alt-/>).
This works with a real working domain, producing the web page as raw
html in the para. With the begin...rescue I get useful results displayed.
