For a little more clarification on usage:

irb(main):027:0> class Foo
irb(main):028:1> def initialize()
irb(main):029:2> @url, @username, @password, @certificate, @owner = nil
irb(main):030:2> end
irb(main):031:1> attr_accessor :url, :username, :password,
:certificate, :owner
irb(main):032:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):033:0> a = Foo.new
=> #<Foo:0xb7d3715c @certificate=nil, @password=nil, @username=nil,
@owner=nil, @url=nil>
irb(main):034:0> a.url = "http://newhavenrubyists.org"
=> "http://newhavenrubyists.org"

and if you need to extend something

irb(main):036:0> class Bar < Foo
irb(main):037:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):038:0> b = Bar.new
=> #<Bar:0xb7d82634 @certificate=nil, @password=nil, @username=nil,
@owner=nil, @url=nil>
irb(main):039:0> b.url = "http://stonecode.org/blog"
=> "http://stonecode.org/blog"
