Connect to Tor network with ruby

Question

how can I configure Ruby web client to request web pages using Tor ?

Answer 1

I had to use this Gem http://socksify.rubyforge.org/ then I was able to do something like this

TCPSocket::socks_server = "127.0.0.1"
TCPSocket::socks_port = 9050
reply = Net::HTTP.get URI.parse("www.google.com")

Obviously with the Tor proxy running.
