Subject: [ruby-talk:17177] Question on Net::HTTP


Let's pretend I wanted to add additional requests so that I could send
(say) WEBDAV commands to an HTTP server. So, instead of sending the
traditional GETs and POSTs, I'd be sending PROPFINDs and MKCOLs. It
seems as if this is quite difficult given the current structure of the
Net::HTTP module: I have write code that makes assumptions about its
internal organization, calling def_http_method and defining the
appropriate subclasses.

Am I misunderstanding this? Is there an easy way to add new request
types using published interfaces?


Thanks


Dave
