Net::Hippie

Net::Hippie is a light weight wrapper around net/http that defaults to sending JSON messages.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'net-hippie'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install net-hippie

Usage

require 'net/hippie'

Net::Hippie.logger = Logger.new(STDERR)

headers = {
  'Accept' => 'application/vnd.haveibeenpwned.v2+json'
}

uri = 'https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/breaches'
response = Net::Hippie.get(uri, headers: headers)
puts JSON.parse(response.body)

response = Net::Hippie.post(
  'https://example.org',
  body: { name: 'hippie' }
)
puts JSON.parse(response.body)

Net::Hippie also supports TLS with client authentication.

client = Net::Hippie::Client.new(
  certificate: ENV['CLIENT_CERTFICIATE'],
  key: ENV['CLIENT_KEY']
)

If your private key is encrypted you may include a passphrase to decrypt it.

client = Net::Hippie::Client.new(
  certificate: ENV['CLIENT_CERTFICIATE'],
  key: ENV['CLIENT_KEY'],
  passphrase: ENV['CLIENT_KEY_PASSPHRASE']
)

Basic Auth

Net::Hippie.get(
  'https://www.example.org',
  headers: {
    'Authorization' => Net::Hippie.basic_auth('username', 'password')
  }
)

Bearer Auth

headers = { 'Authorization' => Net::Hippie.bearer_auth('token') }
Net::Hippie.get('https://www.example.org', headers: headers)
