Homepage: https://github.com/nahi/httpclient
Description-en: HTTP client library for ruby
httpclient gives something like the functionality of
libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.
.
Features:
* 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;
o Cookies support
o MT-safe
o streaming POST (POST with File/IO)
o Digest auth
o Negotiate/NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate (requires net/htlm module)
o NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate/Proxy-Authenticate (requires
win32/sspi module)
o extensible with filter interface
o you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (httpclient
cares instead of you).
