== what is it ?
'rufus-verbs' is an extended HTTP client library (gem). It provides
the four main HTTP "verbs" as Ruby methods : get, put, post and
delete.
It wraps a certain number of techniques that make it a decent tool for
manipulating web resources.
== features
currently :
* follows redirections
* automatically adds _method={post|put} in the request parameters with
the option :fake_put => true
* HTTPS aware ('verify none' by default)
* HTTP basic authentication
* doesn't propagate auth credentials in case of redirection to different host
* advertises and uses gzip compression
* proxy-aware (HTTP_PROXY env var or :proxy option)
* conditional GET (via ConditionalEndPoint class)
* request body built via a block (post and put) or the :data option
maybe later :
* retry on failure
* greediness (automatic parsing for content like JSON or YAML)
* http digest authentication
* cache awareness
* head, options

You'll be able to not do this right?
* http digest authentication
Oh, this would be nice.
* cache awareness
* head, options

I see you are dependent on rufus-lru. That's a really interesting gem that I don't remember seeing anything about before. What else do you have tucked away in there? I see the OpenWFE stuff...
Cheers,
Bob

You'll be able to not do this right?
Yes, the current behaviour should be the default. This greedy option
goes perhaps too far.
I see you are dependent on rufus-lru. That's a really interesting gem
that I don't remember seeing anything about before. What else do you

It depends on rufus-lru only for the conditional gets. There is no
workflow related stuff in this "rufus-verbs" but of course I have
built it to scratch my itch and play with web resources from
workflows.
Best regards, thanks for the feedback,
