              Windows Remote Management (WinRM) for Ruby
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a SOAP library that uses the functionality in Windows Remote
Management(WinRM) to call native object in Windows.  This includes, but is
not limitted to, running batch scripts, powershell scripts and fetching WMI
variables.  For more information on WinRM, please visit Microsoft's WinRM
site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384426(v=VS.85).aspx

* This version does not currently support encryption of messages via
  Kerberos so it is highly recommended to use SSL when configuring WinRM.
