Returns true if stat is a symbolic link, false if it isn’t or if the operating system doesn’t support this feature. As File::stat automatically follows symbolic links, symlink? will always be false for an object returned by File::stat.
File.symlink("testfile", "alink") #=> 0 File.stat("alink").symlink? #=> false File.lstat("alink").symlink? #=> true
Returns true if stat has its sticky bit set, false if it doesn’t or if the operating system doesn’t support this feature.
File.stat("testfile").sticky? #=> false
Returns true if key is registered
Returns the number of referenced objects
Returns a human-readable string representation of this instruction sequence, including the label and path.
Returns a Gem::StubSpecification for every installed gem

Recursively walk dependencies of this spec, executing the block for each hop.
Posts data to the specified URI object.
Example:
require 'net/http' require 'uri' Net::HTTP.post URI('http://www.example.com/api/search'), { "q" => "ruby", "max" => "50" }.to_json, "Content-Type" => "application/json"
Creates a new Net::HTTP object, then additionally opens the TCP connection and HTTP session.
Arguments are the following:
hostname or IP address of the server
port of the server
address of proxy
port of proxy
user of proxy
pass of proxy
optional hash
opt sets following values by its accessor. The keys are ca_file, ca_path, cert, cert_store, ciphers, close_on_empty_response, key, open_timeout, read_timeout, write_timeout, ssl_timeout, ssl_version, use_ssl, verify_callback, verify_depth and verify_mode. If you set :use_ssl as true, you can use https and default value of verify_mode is set as OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER.
If the optional block is given, the newly created Net::HTTP object is passed to it and closed when the block finishes. In this case, the return value of this method is the return value of the block. If no block is given, the return value of this method is the newly created Net::HTTP object itself, and the caller is responsible for closing it upon completion using the finish() method.
Returns true if the HTTP session has been started.
Opens a TCP connection and HTTP session.
When this method is called with a block, it passes the Net::HTTP object to the block, and closes the TCP connection and HTTP session after the block has been executed.
When called with a block, it returns the return value of the block; otherwise, it returns self.
Finishes the HTTP session and closes the TCP connection. Raises IOError if the session has not been started.
Posts data (must be a String) to path. header must be a Hash like { ‘Accept’ => ‘/’, … }.
This method returns a Net::HTTPResponse object.
If called with a block, yields each fragment of the entity body in turn as a string as it is read from the socket. Note that in this case, the returned response object will not contain a (meaningful) body.
dest argument is obsolete. It still works but you must not use it.
This method never raises exception.
response = http.post('/cgi-bin/search.rb', 'query=foo') # using block File.open('result.txt', 'w') {|f| http.post('/cgi-bin/search.rb', 'query=foo') do |str| f.write str end }
You should set Content-Type: header field for POST. If no Content-Type: field given, this method uses “application/x-www-form-urlencoded” by default.
Sends a PROPFIND request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.
Sends a TRACE request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.
Sends an HTTPRequest object req to the HTTP server.
If req is a Net::HTTP::Post or Net::HTTP::Put request containing data, the data is also sent. Providing data for a Net::HTTP::Head or Net::HTTP::Get request results in an ArgumentError.
Returns an HTTPResponse object.
When called with a block, passes an HTTPResponse object to the block. The body of the response will not have been read yet; the block can process it using HTTPResponse#read_body, if desired.
This method never raises Net::* exceptions.
