New description:

 On certain files, a simple HTTP GET will fail with the error: "TypeError:
 can't convert nil into String". It happens on the same remote html files
 every time and I cannot determine the cause. Use this code to recreate:

 {{{
 #!ruby
 Net::HTTP.start('books.inomadics.com') do |http|
         req = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/iPadia/2010/June/aboutsoccer.html')
         res = http.request req
         puts res.body
 end
 }}}

 NOTE: works fine in irb, but fails in macirb

Comment:

 Both example works with r4233:
