Construct a subresource, preserving authentication. Example: site = RestMan::Resource.new('http://example.com', 'adam', 'mypasswd') site['posts/1/comments'].post 'Good article.', :content_type => 'text/plain' This is especially useful if you wish to define your site in one place and call it in multiple locations: def orders RestMan::Resource.new('http://example.com/orders', 'admin', 'mypasswd') end orders.get # GET http://example.com/orders orders['1'].get # GET http://example.com/orders/1 orders['1/items'].delete # DELETE http://example.com/orders/1/items Nest resources as far as you want: site = RestMan::Resource.new('http://example.com') posts = site['posts'] first_post = posts['1'] comments = first_post['comments'] comments.post 'Hello', :content_type => 'text/plain'
