Require the gem in your project:
require 'http'And make a GET request:
>> response = HTTP.get('https://www.google.com')
=> #<HTTP/1.0 200 OK @headers={"Content-Type"=>"text/html; charset=UTF-8", "Date"=>"Fri, ...>We now have a HTTP::Response object for the given request. We can obtain the body by calling #to_s on it:
>> response.to_s
=> "<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=..."Or get the response status code by calling #code:
>> response.code
=> 200Many other HTTP methods are available as well:
>> response = HTTP.post('https://restapi.com/objects')
>> response = HTTP.put('https://restapi.com/put')
>> response = HTTP.patch('https://restapi.com/put')
>> response = HTTP.delete('https://restapi.com/put')
>> response = HTTP.head('https://restapi.com/put')TLS/SSL options are passed using the :ssl key in options, for example
HTTP.post("...",
ssl: {verify_mode: OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER,
ca_file: "/usr/local/etc/trusted-certificates.pem"})
