new(address, port = nil, p_addr = :ENV, p_port = nil, p_user = nil, p_pass = nil) public

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.
