httpclient - HTTP accessing library.

Copyright (C) 2000-2015 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 HTTPClient for documentation.

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.
• debug mode CLI.
• 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/ntlm 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)
