Research direction
Start at line 397 of Net/HTTP/Methods.pm and read the surrounding connection and error-handling code to see whether the remote host is available there. Update the error wording to include the host when available, while retaining the existing message when it is not; verify the relevant HTTP error behavior with the repository's tests.
