Sends a POST request to the path.
Returns the response as a Net::HTTPResponse object.
When called with a block, the block is passed an HTTPResponse object. The body of that response will not have been read yet; the block can process it using HTTPResponse#read_body, if desired.
Returns the response.
This method never raises Net::* exceptions.
# example response = http.request_post('/cgi-bin/nice.rb', 'datadatadata...') p response.status puts response.body # body is already read in this case # using block http.request_post('/cgi-bin/nice.rb', 'datadatadata...') {|response| p response.status p response['content-type'] response.read_body do |str| # read body now print str end }
Are we doctoring a gem repository?
Return a progress reporter object chosen from the current verbosity.
Raises NoMemoryError when allocating an instance of the given classes.
Returns self if self is a String, or self converted to a String if self is a subclass of String.
String#to_str is an alias for String#to_s.
Returns true if the named file is readable by the real user and group id of this process. See access(3).
Note that some OS-level security features may cause this to return true even though the file is not readable by the real user/group.
If file_name is readable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of file_name. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).
file_name can be an IO object.
File.world_readable?("/etc/passwd") #=> 420 m = File.world_readable?("/etc/passwd") sprintf("%o", m) #=> "644"
Returns true if obj responds to the given method. Private and protected methods are included in the search only if the optional second parameter evaluates to true.
If the method is not implemented, as Process.fork on Windows, File.lchmod on GNU/Linux, etc., false is returned.
If the method is not defined, respond_to_missing? method is called and the result is returned.
When the method name parameter is given as a string, the string is converted to a symbol.
When this module is prepended in another, Ruby calls prepend_features in this module, passing it the receiving module in mod. Ruby’s default implementation is to overlay the constants, methods, and module variables of this module to mod if this module has not already been added to mod or one of its ancestors. See also Module#prepend.
Removes the definition of the given constant, returning that constant’s previous value. If that constant referred to a module, this will not change that module’s name and can lead to confusion.
Makes a list of existing constants deprecated. Attempt to refer to them will produce a warning.
module HTTP NotFound = Exception.new NOT_FOUND = NotFound # previous version of the library used this name deprecate_constant :NOT_FOUND end HTTP::NOT_FOUND # warning: constant HTTP::NOT_FOUND is deprecated
Returns true if the given year is a leap year in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, false otherwise:
Date.gregorian_leap?(2000) # => true Date.gregorian_leap?(2001) # => false
Date.leap? is an alias for Date.gregorian_leap?.

Copies from the given src to the given dst, returning the number of bytes copied.
The given src must be one of the following:
The path to a readable file, from which source data is to be read.
An IO-like object, opened for reading and capable of responding to method :readpartial or method :read.
The given dst must be one of the following:
The path to a writable file, to which data is to be written.
An IO-like object, opened for writing and capable of responding to method :write.
The examples here use file t.txt as source:
File.read('t.txt') # => "First line\nSecond line\n\nThird line\nFourth line\n" File.read('t.txt').size # => 47
If only arguments src and dst are given, the entire source stream is copied:
# Paths. IO.copy_stream('t.txt', 't.tmp') # => 47 # IOs (recall that a File is also an IO). src_io = File.open('t.txt', 'r') # => #<File:t.txt> dst_io = File.open('t.tmp', 'w') # => #<File:t.tmp> IO.copy_stream(src_io, dst_io) # => 47 src_io.close dst_io.close
With argument src_length a non-negative integer, no more than that many bytes are copied:
IO.copy_stream('t.txt', 't.tmp', 10) # => 10 File.read('t.tmp') # => "First line"
With argument src_offset also given, the source stream is read beginning at that offset:
IO.copy_stream('t.txt', 't.tmp', 11, 11) # => 11 IO.read('t.tmp') # => "Second line"
Returns an Addrinfo object for remote address obtained by getpeername.
Note that addrinfo.protocol is filled by 0.
TCPSocket.open("www.ruby-lang.org", 80) {|s| p s.remote_address #=> #<Addrinfo: 221.186.184.68:80 TCP> } TCPServer.open("127.0.0.1", 1728) {|serv| c = TCPSocket.new("127.0.0.1", 1728) s = serv.accept p s.remote_address #=> #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:36504 TCP> }
