Dpr is the simplest Ruby Http client. It lets you do HTTP directly on URL strings. If a string can respond to_i and return the integer value of the string or 0 if it is not a integer, then it only makes sense to make it respond to http methods also.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dpr'

Here is a basic usage of dpr. Calling http_get on a url string returns the parsed response body(hash) and the response code.

resp, code = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London'.http_get

If the string is not a url, dpr methods will return empty hash and -1.

resp, code = 'dasd'.http_get
resp # {}
code # -1

"http://httpbin.org/post".http_post
                        headers:{ "Accept" => "application/json" }, 
                        parameters:{ :age => 23, :foo => "bar" }

Dpr supports all http methods.

url_string.http_get
url_string.http_post
url_string.http_delete
url_string.http_put
url_string.http_patch
