Instance Method Details

#config ⇒ Object

The configuration object. It supports the following entries:

  • config.headers: default headers to use when doing HTTP requests. Default: “Ruby HTTP client/1.0”

  • config.max_redirections: the number of maximum redirections to follow. Default: 10

To adjust the configuration change these objects, like so:

HTTP.config.headers =  { "User-Agent" => "My awesome thingy/1.0" }
