Subject: Re: Need ruby equivalent of perl's LWP (libwww-perl)

Hi

As Emmanuel says, there's net/http in the standard distribution - which 
offers fairly low-level access.

For something more like LWP, especially the classes like LWP::UA which 
give higher-level (easy) access to HTTP, you probably want HTTP-Access2

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=http-access2

It includes things like seamless HTTPS handling and cookie helper 
classes. Documentation's not as rich as LWP, but enough to get going.

cheers
