net_http_socket_options.rb

class MyHTTP < Net::HTTP
  def on_connect()
    @socket.io.setsockopt(Socket::IPPROTO_TCP, Socket::TCP_NODELAY, 1)
  end
end

n = 5
host = 'example.com'
port = 80

MyHTTP.new(host, port).start do |http|
  n.times do
    req = Net::HTTP::Get.new("http://#{host}:#{port}/rest/of/url")
    req.add_field('Connection', 'keep-alive')

    http.request(req) do |res|
      res.read_body
    end
  end
