Instance Method Details

#[](suburl) ⇒ Object

Construct a subresource, preserving authentication.

Example:

site = RestClient::Resource.new('http://example.com', 'adam', 'mypasswd')
site['posts/1/comments'].post 'Good article.', :content_type => 'text/plain'

This is especially useful if you wish to define your site in one place and call it in multiple locations:

def orders
  RestClient::Resource.new('http://example.com/orders', 'admin', 'mypasswd')
end

orders.get                     # GET http://example.com/orders
orders['1'].get                # GET http://example.com/orders/1
orders['1/items'].delete       # DELETE http://example.com/orders/1/items

Nest resources as far as you want:

site = RestClient::Resource.new('http://example.com')
posts = site['posts']
first_post = posts['1']
comments = first_post['comments']
comments.post 'Hello', :content_type => 'text/plain'
