<b>Restr is a very simple client for RESTful[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer]
web services.</b> It is developed as a lightweight alternative to
ActiveResource[http://api.rubyonrails.com/files/vendor/rails/activeresource/README.html].

Restr is basically a wrapper around Ruby's Net::HTTP, offering
a more RESTfully meaningful interface.
See the Restr class documentation for more info, but here's a simple
example of RESTful interaction with Restr:
require 'restr'
kitten = Restr.get('http://example.com/kittens/1.xml')
puts kitten['name']
puts kitten['colour']
kitten['colour'] = 'black'
kitten = Restr.put('http://example.com/kittens/1.xml', kitten)
