class ActiveResource::Connection
#   Creates new Net::HTTP instance for communication with
#   remote service and resources.
   def http
     http = Net::HTTP.new(@site.host, @site.port)
     http.use_ssl = @site.is_a?(URI::HTTPS)
     http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE if http.use_ssl
     http.read_timeout = @timeout if @timeout
     #Here's the addition that allows you to see the output
     http.set_debug_output $stderr
     return http
   end
