httpclient - HTTP accessing library. 
Copyright (C) 2000-2015 NAKAMURA, Hiroshi [email protected].

Features
- methods like GET/HEAD/POST/* via HTTP/1.1.
- HTTPS(SSL), Cookies, proxy, authentication(Digest, NTLM, Basic), etc.
- asynchronous HTTP request, streaming HTTP request.
- debug mode CLI.
- by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
- Cookies support
- MT-safe
- streaming POST (POST with File/IO)
- Digest auth
- Negotiate/NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate (requires net/ntlm module; rubyntlm gem)
- NTLM auth for Proxy-Authenticate (requires 'win32/sspi' module; rubysspi gem)
- extensible with filter interface
- you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (httpclient cares instead of you)
- Not supported now
- Cache
- Rather advanced HTTP/1.1 usage such as Range, deflate, etc. (of course you can set it in header by yourself)
httpclient command
Usage: 1) httpclient get https://www.google.co.jp/?q=ruby
Usage: 2) httpclient
For 1) it issues a GET request to the given URI and shows the wiredump and the parsed result. For 2) it invokes irb shell with the binding that has a HTTPClient as 'self'. You can call HTTPClient instance methods like;
get "https://www.google.co.jp/", :q => :ruby
