httpclient - HTTP accessing library. Copyright (C) 2000-2011 NAKAMURA, Hiroshi nahi@ruby-lang.org.
'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby. 'httpclient' formerly known as 'http-access2'.
See API Doc for documentation.
-
methods like GET/HEAD/POST/* via HTTP/1.1.
-
HTTPS(SSL), Cookies, proxy, authentication(Digest, NTLM, Basic), etc.
-
asynchronous HTTP request, streaming HTTP request.
-
by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
- Cookies support
- MT-safe
- streaming POST (POST with File/IO)
- Digest auth
- Negotiate/NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate (requires net/htlm module; rubyntlm gem)
- NTLM auth for Proxy-Authenticate (requires 'win32/sspi' module; rubysspi gem)
- extensible with filter interface
- you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (httpclient cares instead of you)
-
Not supported now
- Cache
- Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc. (of course you can set it in header by yourself)
