Overview

A Finger client API for Ruby.

Net::Finger provides a library which can be used to build Finger user-agents.

Net::Finger is designed to work closely with URI.

Simple Examples

All examples assume you have loaded Net::Finger with:

require 'net/finger'

This will also require ‘uri’ so you don’t need to require it separately.

The Net::Finger methods in the following section do not persist connections.

GET by URI

uri = URI('finger://skyjake.fi/jaakko')
Net::Finger.get(uri) # => String
