The HTTP toolkit for Ruby

HTTPkit is a Ruby toolkit for working with HTTP clients and servers.

Build Status

HTTPkit offers:

  • extendable, high-quality code with consistent APIs, and 57.68% mutation coverage (wip)
  • sophisticated request and response streaming
  • integration with Webmachine for Ruby, and Rack (wip)
  • compatibility with MRuby (todo), in addition to the usual: MRI, Rubinius, JRuby (todo)
  • free and unencumbered public domain software

Before v0.6.0, HTTPkit was called Hatetepe and then underwent a ground-up rewrite. Look at the 0.5.x branch for the old code.
