Overview

HTTPI

Executes HTTP requests using a predefined adapter. All request methods accept an HTTPI::Request and an optional adapter. They may also offer shortcut methods for executing basic requests. Also they all return an HTTPI::Response.

GET

request = HTTPI::Request.new :url => "http://example.com"
HTTPI.get request, :httpclient

Shortcuts

HTTPI.get "http://example.com", :curb

POST

request = HTTPI::Request.new
request.url = "http://example.com"
request.body = "<some>xml</some>"

HTTPI.post request, :httpclient

Shortcuts

HTTPI.post "http://example.com", "<some>xml</some>", :curb

HEAD

request = HTTPI::Request.new :url => "http://example.com"
HTTPI.head request, :httpclient

Shortcuts

HTTPI.head "http://example.com", :curb

PUT

request = HTTPI::Request.new
request.url = "http://example.com"
request.body = "<some>xml</some>"

HTTPI.put request, :httpclient

Shortcuts

HTTPI.put "http://example.com", "<some>xml</some>", :curb

DELETE

request = HTTPI::Request.new :url => "http://example.com"
HTTPI.delete request, :httpclient

Shortcuts

HTTPI.delete "http://example.com", :curb

More control

If you need more control over your request, you can access the HTTP client instance represented by your adapter in a block.

HTTPI.get request do |http|
  http.follow_redirect_count = 3  # HTTPClient example
end
