A curl gem that doesn't suck.
Installation
In your Gemfile, add this line:
gem "pocket"
Options & Defaults
Here are the possible options. Whatever you pass in will merge with and overwrite these defaults. The :headers options will merge as well, so if you don't want those default headers, you'll need to pass in a :headers option that overwrites (e.g. 'Content-Type') with nil.
# defaults
_options = {
:method => :get,
:username => nil,
:password => nil,
:use_ssl => false,
:data => nil,
:headers => {
"Content-Type" => "application/json",
"Accept" => "application/json",
}
}
