Net::Hippie

Net::Hippie is a light weight wrapper around net/http that defaults to sending JSON messages.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'net-hippie'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install net-hippie

Usage

require 'net/hippie'

Net::Hippie.logger = Rails.logger

client = Net::Hippie::Client.new

headers = {
  'Accept' => 'application/vnd.haveibeenpwned.v2+json'
}

uri = URI.parse('https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/breaches')
response = client.get(uri, headers: headers)
puts JSON.parse(response.body)

client = Net::Hippie::Client.new
body = { user: { name: 'hippie' } }
response = client.post(URI.parse('https://example.org'), body: body)
puts JSON.parse(response.body)

Net::Hippie also supports TLS with client authentication.

client = Net::Hippie::Client.new(
  certificate: ENV['CLIENT_CERTFICIATE'],
  key: ENV['CLIENT_KEY']
)

If your private key is encrypted you may include a passphrase to decrypt it.

client = Net::Hippie::Client.new(
  certificate: ENV['CLIENT_CERTFICIATE'],
  key: ENV['CLIENT_KEY'],
  passphrase: ENV['CLIENT_KEY_PASSPHRASE']
)

Basic Auth

client = Net::Hippie::Client.new
headers = { 'Authorization' => Net::Hippie.basic_auth('username', 'password') }
client.get('https://www.example.org', headers: headers)

Bearer Auth

client = Net::Hippie::Client.new
headers = { 'Authorization' => Net::Hippie.bearer_auth('token') }
client.get('https://www.example.org', headers: headers)
