You should be using the URI class to parse and assemble URLs; there's no need to duplicate that functionality in net/http. URI provides address and port accessors. Also, if you want an easy wrapper around net/http and uri, there's already open-uri. (Also, I've contributed some improved documentation for net/http which will hopefully make it to ruby-doc.org soon.) mathew -- <URL:http://www.pobox.com/~meta/> WE HAVE TACOS
