Subject: Re: [ANN] SimpleHTTP initial release

Thanks everyone for your replies!

I've made a couple of changes and will release a new version soon to
reflect your feedback (most stuff is already in subversion) I'll
upload a new gem, etc, shortly.

Cookies are supported by way of request and response headers. You have
to handle the cookie data, realms and expiry yourself, though:

   ht = SimpleHttp.new 'www.example.com'
   ht.get
   cookie = ht.response_headers['set-cookie']

It might be possible to do something like this:

   SimpleSession {
       ht = SimpleHttp.new 'www.example.com'
       ht.get
       page = SimpleHttp.get 'www.example.com/index2.html' **
   }

** this call would have cookies automatically set to the values
returned in the first call. Not sure how that would work yet, but it
may be worth pursuing.

correct, I've updated the README accordingly.

sounds like an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how to set up the
heuristics of autocompletion. When would you try alternatives? When
DNS lookup fails for `example.com`? If you can't connect to port 80?
On a 404? I've got a bit of auto completion already in the you can
leave out the 'http://" bit if you like :)  Anyhow, it sounds like a
great feature, but I have no idea how I'd implement it, I'm very open
to input, though...

Could you tell me what sort of problems you were having? I just tried
it here with a proxy and it worked fine.

I added it to the package. Guess you learn something new every day, I
had no idea setup.rb was it's own project!



Thanks again!
