jsonclient - Shell command for performing HTTP/JSON requests using Ruby jsonclient
This program is an example/companion to the Ruby jsonclient module, but can be used as a complete standalone HTTP/JSON client.
If invoked with a method and an URI, the specified URI will be requested via the method given from its server. The allowed methods are head, get, post, put, delete, options, propfind, proppatch and trace.
Parameters can be specified as a third parameter and will be delivered accordingly (i.e. appended to the URI after a ? sign if the method is get, but as the posted body if the method is post)
Please note that no checks are done as to whether the requested parameters make sense in the context they are specified, they are just sent as-is.
If no parameters are specified, an interactive Ruby (irb) session will be opened, binding an JSONClient object as 'self'. You can then call JSONClient instance methods like:
JSONclient will print the `wiredump' of your request (that is, the commands sent to the server via HTTP), then the request's headers, and finally the result.
