Creates a new Net::HTTP object without opening a TCP connection or HTTP session.
The address
should be a DNS hostname or IP address, the
port
is the port the server operates on. If no
port
is given the default port for HTTP or HTTPS is used.
If none of the p_
arguments are given, the proxy host and port
are taken from the http_proxy
environment variable (or its
uppercase equivalent) if present. If the proxy requires authentication you
must supply it by hand. See URI::Generic#find_proxy
for details of proxy detection from the environment. To disable proxy
detection set p_addr
to nil.
If you are connecting to a custom proxy, p_addr
the DNS name
or IP address of the proxy host, p_port
the port to use to
access the proxy, and p_user
and p_pass
the
username and password if authorization is required to use the proxy.
