===== Http-Utilities =====
Http-Utilities is a wrapper for common HTTP-libraries (Net::Http, Open Uri, Curb) using a unified API.
I personally use this in quite a few projects and decided to extract it into a separate gem.
Features:
There are some specs but the gem needs more test/spec coverage. Working on it though.
This is primarily intended for private use, but get back to me if you use it and run into issues.
