Method: Gem::Net::HTTP#get

Defined in:

lib/rubygems/vendor/net-http/lib/net/http.rb

#get(path, initheader = nil, dest = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

get(path, initheader = nil) {|res| ... }

Sends a GET request to the server; returns an instance of a subclass of Gem::Net::HTTPResponse.

The request is based on the Gem::Net::HTTP::Get object created from string path and initial headers hash initheader.

With a block given, calls the block with the response body:

http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new(hostname)
http.get('/todos/1') do |res|
  p res
end # => #<Gem::Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

Output:

"{\n  \"userId\": 1,\n  \"id\": 1,\n  \"title\": \"delectus aut autem\",\n  \"completed\": false\n}"

With no block given, simply returns the response object:

http.get('/') # => #<Gem::Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>
