By Peter Cooper / January 16, 2010 Norwegian Rubyist August Lilleaas has been busy putting together a ton of examples of using the Net::HTTP Ruby library that comes with most Ruby distributions. I asked him if it'd be okay to put some of them directly on Ruby Inside for reference purposes and he said "No problem! " It's worth noting that Net::HTTP has been superseded in many areas by libraries like John Nunemaker's HTTParty and Paul DIx's high performance Typhoeus, but as part of the standard library, Net::HTTP is still a popular option though it doesn't have the easiest API to remember.
Here's a selection of August's examples for some of the most common operations. Want to see all of the examples and follow any updates made to them?
