cURL-like functionality

[BNPMike]

If you buy PHP hosting you'll typically get libcurl. For Ruby, is there something similar in the 'base build'? (cURL gives you http etc methods to eg script other web sites).

There is a Ruby binding for cURL:

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ruby/

And you see many other bindings of that library for different languages.

Bye, Olaf.

The standard library contains Net::HTTP and Net::FTP. With the URI module, you can have a lot of the cURL functionality for free. It also uses ruby threads nicely.
