Drop-in utility to test your app subdomains with Capybara, Rspec, and a Javascript driver (Poltergeist, Webkit, or Selenium)
# Support for Rspec / Capybara subdomain integration testing
# Make sure this file is required by spec_helper.rb
# (e.g. save as spec/support/subdomains.rb)
def switch_to_subdomain(subdomain)
# lvh.me always resolves to 127.0.0.1
hostname = subdomain ? "#{subdomain}.lvh.me" : "lvh.me"
Capybara.app_host = "http://#{hostname}"

`Date.parse` with some extra leeway to handle user input errors. Handles things like `2013-02-31` (parses it as `2013-02-29`) and handles things in general like users would expect.
module Freckle
module Date
class << self
def parse(string)
raw = string.to_s.strip
return nil if raw.empty?
begin
# reverse order if we encounter "European" formatting

RESOLVE SHORT URLS before storing. Short URLs are for microblogging; you should never actually keep them around.
require 'net/http'
# WARNING do not use this; it works but is very limited
def resolve url
res = Net::HTTP.get_response URI(url)
if res.code == '301' then res['location']
else url.to_s
end
