Creates a new Net::HTTP object, http
, via Net::HTTP.new:
Net::HTTP.new(address, port, p_addr, p_port, p_user, p_pass)
For arguments hostname
through p_pass
, see Net::HTTP.new
.
For argument opts
, see below.
Note: If port
is nil
and opts[:use_ssl]
is a truthy value, the value passed to new
is Net::HTTP.https_default_port
, not port
.
With no block given:
Calls http.start
with no block (see start
), which opens a TCP connection and HTTP session.
Returns http
.
The caller should call finish
to close the session:
http = Net::HTTP.start(hostname) http.started? # => true http.finish http.started? # => false
With a block given:
Calls http.start
with the block (see start
), which:
Opens a TCP connection and HTTP session.
Calls the block, which may make any number of requests to the host.
Closes the HTTP session and TCP connection on block exit.
Returns the block’s value object
.
Returns object
.
Example:
hostname = 'jsonplaceholder.typicode.com' Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http| puts http.get('/todos/1').body puts http.get('/todos/2').body end
Output:
{ "userId": 1, "id": 1, "title": "delectus aut autem", "completed": false } { "userId": 1, "id": 2, "title": "quis ut nam facilis et officia qui", "completed": false }
If the last argument given is a hash, it is the opts
hash, where each key is a method or accessor to be called, and its value is the value to be set.
The keys may include:
Returns the IP address for the connection.
If the session has not been started, returns the value set by ipaddr=
, or nil
if it has not been set:
http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname) http.ipaddr # => nil http.ipaddr = '172.67.155.76' http.ipaddr # => "172.67.155.76"
If the session has been started, returns the IP address from the socket:
http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname) http.start http.ipaddr # => "172.67.155.76" http.finish
Sets the IP address for the connection:
http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname) http.ipaddr # => nil http.ipaddr = '172.67.155.76' http.ipaddr # => "172.67.155.76"
The IP address may not be set if the session has been started.
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.
Sends a PATCH request to the path
and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse
object.
Sends a PROPFIND request to the path
and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse
object.
Sends a COPY request to the path
and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse
object.
Returns the path from an FTP
URI
.
RFC 1738 specifically states that the path for an FTP
URI
does not include the / which separates the URI
path from the URI
host. Example:
ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/ruby
The above URI
indicates that the client should connect to ftp.example.com then cd to pub/ruby from the initial login directory.
If you want to cd to an absolute directory, you must include an escaped / (%2F) in the path. Example:
ftp://ftp.example.com/%2Fpub/ruby
This method will then return “/pub/ruby”.
This is used as a predicate, and ought to be called first.
