require 'net/https'

url = URI.parse("https://address")
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = (url.scheme == 'https')
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path)
response = http.start {|http| http.request(request) }

Did you require 'open-uri'? Otherwise open doesn't work with remote files. 

>> open("http://google.com")
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - http://google.com
...
>> require 'open-uri' #=> true
>> open("http://google.com") #=> #<File:/tmp/open-uri20111215-27666-1jeeiqo>
