Did you read any of the documentation?  Net::HTTP.get_response returns a
response object, because an HTTP request returns several different kinds of
things.  What you are seeing there is the string representation of an
object.

Are you expecting to print the body of the web page?  If so, then you
should print response.body, not response.
