= RightScale Slicehost API Ruby Gem
Published by RightScale, Inc. under the MIT License.
For information about RightScale, see http://www.rightscale.com
== DESCRIPTION:
The RightScale Slicehost gem has been designed to provide a robust interface to Slicehost's existing API.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
- Full programmatic access to the Slicehost API.
- Complete error handling: all operations check for errors and report complete
error information by raising a SlicehostError.
- Persistent HTTP connections with robust network-level retry layer using
Rightscale::HttpConnection. This includes socket timeouts and retries.
- Robust HTTP-level retry layer. Certain (user-adjustable) HTTP errors
returned by Slicehost are classified as temporary errors.
These errors are automaticallly retried using exponentially increasing intervals.
The number of retries is user-configurable.
== INSTALL:
sudo gem install right_slicehost
