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("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("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("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
