Google Base Class is a base for authenticating to google and making requests to google services.

=Installation

sudo gem install googlebase

=Usage

===Establish A Connection

The code below shows how to use the gem by itself. It checks if username and password are correct (raising 
Google::LoginError on FAIL) and stores the session id internally. Then you can make requests and the session id is 
automatically passed in a cookie.

  require 'google/base'
  Google::Base.establish_connection('username', 'password')
  Google::Base.get('http://google.com/reader/path/to/whatever/')
  Google::Base.get('https://google.com:443/analytics/home/') # to make an ssl request

===Inheritance

This example takes things a bit farther and shows how to use this class simply as a base to get some methods for free 
and then wrap whatever google service you would like.
  
  require 'google/base'
  Google::Base.establish_connection('username', 'password')
  module Google
    module Reader
      class Base < Google::Base
        class << self
          def get_token
            get("http://www.google.com/reader/api/0/token")
          end
        end
      end
    end
  end

  puts Google::Reader::Base.get_token
