EOFError (end of file reached) in Ruby on Rails with http.request

this error mostly get for using https

If it is https then

Please try this one

uri = URI.parse("https://84.38.185.251:9262/send")
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
http.use_ssl = true  
response = http.request(request)

Note aditional

http.use_ssl = true

If it is not https

http.use_ssl = false

or you can add the condition

http.use_ssl = true if domain =~ /^https/
