http_get is lame

[sbeckeriv]

www.woot.com
NoMethodError: undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass

http://woot.com
ArgumentError: HTTP request path is empty

these do not work with http_get. we should be able to clean that up. not required but nice.

To be clear

http_get("woot.com") and http_get("http://woot.com") error. I think its kinda weak and we can do much better with sane defaults for lazy coder(me)
