## Working

@url              = URI.parse(GATEWAY_ADDRESS)
@http             = Net::HTTP.new(@url.host, @url.port)
@http.use_ssl     = (@url.scheme == 'https')
@http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
@request          = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/')
@response         = @http.request(@request)

## Not Working...

@url              = URI.parse(GATEWAY_ADDRESS)
@http             = Net::HTTP.new(@url.host, @url.port)
@http.use_ssl     = (@url.scheme == 'https')
@http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
@request          = Net::HTTP.get('/')
@response         = @http.request(@request)

## Reason

The second doesn't actually use the Net::HTTP object that is configured with the VERIFY_NONE option!
