Net::HTTP end of file reached

Doing a check on a remote file url, using Net::HTTP, I get an 'end of file reached'

here is the Ruby code (1.9.2) [env ; Rails3 , webrick ]     url = URI.parse(URI.escape(test_upload.videoUrl))     req = Net::HTTP::Head.new(url.path)     res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) {|http| http.request(req) }     if res.code == "200"       puts "OK we can get the clip"

I don't get the response ... url: http://video.vertexdigitalsports.com//sitehome/site41/userUpload/IDab31abe3-f2de-4ba9-bcc8-a9417fa882f5/swingcombined534Out.mp4 rake aborted! end of file reached

seems the connection is over on this file... I tried to add : req.add_field('Connection', 'keep-alive') but always the same error ... trying to get it via my browser raises the same error... what could be wrong on the server side ? is there any way to test with another library ?

thanks for your feedback

When I try that URL in my browser I get a broken video icon. I think your URL is bad.
