Issue is the same as http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2708
I'm getting a NoMethodError exception, instead of the Errno::ECONNREFUSED exception I should be getting with the following code : 

  require 'net/http'
  n = Net::HTTP.new('127.0.0.1', 1234) # or any other unused port
  n.request_head('/')
