Southwest Checkin 2.0

Automatically checks in passengers for their Southwest Flight.

Version 2.0 of this project is a complete rewrite of the service. The brittle HTML parsing and form submissions are a thing of the past. A much better approach is being taken to automate checkins. And, importantly, the new version has a robust test suite. It is even written in a new language (Ruby) and framework (Rails).

If you are interested in the old version, see the 1.0 branch.
