Subject: [ruby-talk:12501] net/http get parameters

I was looking for how to do access to passworded pages with http.get,
and found a reference here. Thanks! The code looks like:


enc = 'Basic ' + encode64(username:password) #place real values here
resp, data = h.get(url, 'Authorization' => enc)

Now I have a meta-question: where could this kind of thing be looked
up?

Thanks!
