Dave,

require 'net/http'
h = Net::HTTP.new('www.pragmaticprogrammer.com', 80)
resp, data = h.get('/index.html', nil)
if resp.message == "OK"
 data.scan(/<img src="(.*?)"/) { |x| puts x }
end

Found the problem:
I named a file "socket.rb" in the same directory.
As soon as I renamed it, everything worked :)
