Equivalent of cURL for Ruby?

Question

Is there a cURL library for Ruby?

Answer 1

To state the maybe-too-obvious, tick marks execute shell code in Ruby as well. Provided your Ruby code is running in a shell that has curl:

puts `curl http://www.google.com?q=hello`

or

result = `
  curl -X POST https://www.myurl.com/users \
  -d "name=pat" \
  -d "age=21"
` 
puts result
