Thu Dec 21 2006 13:41 rest-open-uri:
My open-uri hack isn't going into Ruby anytime soon, so rather than have to devote a bunch of space in the book to hacking or reimplementing, I packaged it as the rest-open-uri gem. You can use it wherever you'd use open-uri, and it supports entity-bodies and all the HTTP methods. It's the only Ruby HTTP client library I need!
And I think it should work even in programs that also use open-uri (so long as you require it after open-uri).

Leonard: I'll do it, but I'll be using scare quotes the whole time! "Scare quotes"!
Sumana: Yes, Leonard, scare quotes. That's what keeps you from being bourgeois.
I laughed and laughed.

Last night we went to the last episode of Giant Tuesday and it was great. Highlights included the sentient George Foreman grill that talked like George Foreman, and the best-executed fart joke I've ever seen. Too bad it's now GONE FOREVER.
