This class is the base class for Net::HTTP response classes.
Method Net::HTTP.get_response returns an instance of one of the subclasses of Net::HTTPResponse:
Net::HTTP.get_response(uri) # => #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true> Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname, '/nosuch') # => #<Net::HTTPNotFound 404 Not Found readbody=true>
As does method Net::HTTP#request:
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri) Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http| http.request(req) end # => #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>
Class Net::HTTPResponse includes module Net::HTTPHeader, which provides access to response header values via (among others):
Hash-like method [].
Specific reader methods, such as content_type.
Examples:
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri) # => #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true> res['Content-Type'] # => "text/html; charset=UTF-8" res.content_type # => "text/html"
Class Net::HTTPResponse has a subclass for each HTTP status code. You can look up the response class for a given code:
Net::HTTPResponse::CODE_TO_OBJ['200'] # => Net::HTTPOK Net::HTTPResponse::CODE_TO_OBJ['400'] # => Net::HTTPBadRequest Net::HTTPResponse::CODE_TO_OBJ['404'] # => Net::HTTPNotFound
And you can retrieve the status code for a response object:
Net::HTTP.get_response(uri).code # => "200" Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname, '/nosuch').code # => "404"
The response subclasses (indentation shows class hierarchy):

Response class for Switching Protocol responses (status code 101).
The <tt>Switching Protocol<tt> response indicates that the server has received a request to switch protocols, and has agreed to do so.
References:
Response class for Early Hints responses (status code 103).
The Early Hints indicates that the server has received and is processing the request, and contains certain headers; the final response is not available yet.
References:
Response class for Accepted responses (status code 202).
The Accepted response indicates that the server has received and is processing a request, but the processing has not yet been completed.
References:
Response class for No Content responses (status code 204).
The No Content response indicates that the server successfully processed the request, and is not returning any content.
References:

References:
Response class for Payment Required responses (status code 402).
Reserved for future use.
References:

Individual switch class. Not important to the user.
Defined within Switch are several Switch-derived classes: NoArgument, RequiredArgument, etc.
Raises when there is an argument for a switch which takes no argument.
Raises when a switch with mandatory argument has no argument.
Raises when the given argument does not match required format.
