Subject: NetworkFacade 0.4

NetworkFacade is an alternative to DRb, XML/RPC and other REST api,
all in one gem !

  http://network-facade.rubyforge.org/

The easiest way to describe it, is through examples.

A simple tcp client/server :

  # -- Server --
  class Foo
    def bar; 42; end
  end
  server = NetworkFacade::Server.new(:port => 5042)
  server << Foo.new
  server.start

  # -- Client --
  class Foo < NetworkFacade::Client 'nf://localhost:5042'
  end
  f = Foo.new
  puts f.bar

A REST client, for Digg :

  class Digg < NetworkFacade::REST::Client 'http://services.digg.com'
    mapping :apple_stories, '/stories/topic/apple'
    mapping :me, '/user/pyros'
  end

  d = Digg.new
  puts d.apple_stories(:appkey => 'http://network-facade.rubyforge.org',
                       :count => 3, :type => :json)
  puts d.me(:appkey => 'http://network-facade.rubyforge.org')

Many other examples (Unix socket, SSL, Compression, Flickr,
Remember the milk, Netvibes) are explained here :
