I'm trying to call it from Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and am getting the following error:
Code:
ruby blockfound.rb --pool Slush
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/open-uri.rb:223:in `open_loop': redirection forbidden: http://blockchain.info/blocks/Slush?format=json -> https://blockchain.info/blocks/Slush?format=json (RuntimeError)

If I try to directly access the same URL (https://blockchain.info/blocks/Slush?format=json) from a browser, it works.
So I googled the problem and found this page:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10013293/open-uri-is-not-redirecing-http-to-https
I installed the open_uri_redirections gem, then made the minor mods to your script to allow redirections, and it works.
Here's the text of the patch, if you're interested:

Maybe an alternative simpler patch (which I didn't try) would be to change the URLs to https to avoid redirection.
