Feature #10179: Net::HTTP::Get.new("https://google.com").basic_auth(user_name, password) should throw exception stating the need to set use_ssl to true

Alternatively Net::HTTP could just detect https urls and do this for you.

I suggest:
raise Exception("Accessing https without ssl\n url:#{URL}\n Please use http.use_ssl = true")

This sounds good. I cannot think of any downside...
