== COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
httparty also includes the executable <tt>httparty</tt> which can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to query web services and examine the resulting output. By default
|
|
|
|
|
it will output the response as a pretty-printed Ruby object (useful for
|
|
|
|
|
grokking the structure of output). This can also be overridden to output
|
|
|
|
|
formatted XML or JSON. Execute <tt>httparty --help</tt> for all the
|
|
|
|
|
options. Below is an example of how easy it is.

|
|
|
