# Hugs

Hugs net-http-persistent with convenient get, delete, post, and put methods.

Opted to write this gem for two reasons:

* [Ganeti's API](http://docs.ganeti.org/ganeti/2.2/html/rapi.html), required
  the sending of a message body with the HTTP Get request, which
  [rest-client](https://github.com/archiloque/rest-client) does not do.
* Wanted a [fast](http://blog.segment7.net/articles/2010/05/07/net-http-is-not-slow),
  thread-safe, and persistent client.

## Assumptions

* The webservice returns JSON.
* You want to objectify the returned JSON.
* The message body is JSON.
* The webservice requires basic auth (will remove this requirement shortly).

## Usage

### Bundler

    gem "hugs"

### Examples

See the 'Examples' section in the [wiki](http://github.com/retr0h/rubineti/wiki/).

### TODO

* Remove HTTP Auth requirement, as mentioned in the 'Assumptions' section.
* Move @request instance method in #response_for to local.  It was set to an instance
  for ease of testing but it bothers me.
