Hi,
I'm quite new to ruby, and this is my first question to your group:

Is there a ruby library with support for making a HttpClient - like the Jakarta commons HttpClient for java ?

best regards
Hardy

Sorry for this beginner question.
A search in: http://ruby.codefetch.com/search?qy=Http&lang=ruby
gave me some examples, and a couple of minuts later I had my client running.

What does Jakarta commons HttpClient do, and have you looked at the Net::HTTP library?

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/classes/Net/HTTP.html

And welcome to Ruby!

Quoting Hardy Henneberg <hh@hhenne.dk>:

the Jakarta commons HttpClient for java ?

In addition to Net::HTTP, there is also WebUnit. It has an interface
similar to HttpUnit for java, if that is what floats your boat. And
there is WWW::Mechanize, which is similar to the perl WWW::Mechanize.

Thanks for a very fast answer.
And yes, Net::HTTP is the right answer.
Seems like a realy good language and community.

See also openuri in the standard library which is just a different (but fun!) interface.
