simple HTTP request testing using net/http and a JSON POST payload | Update: I guess I might start updating this again. I am pretty fickle.

requesttest.rb

#! usr/bin/ruby
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'json'

def getRequest(url)
	uri = URI.parse(url)
	http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
	request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
	request["Accept"] = "application/json"
	return http.request(request)
end

def deleteRequest(url)
	uri = URI.parse(url)
	http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
	request = Net::HTTP::Delete.new(uri.request_uri)
	request["Accept"] = "application/json"
	return http.request(request)
end

def putRequest(url, payload)
	uri = URI.parse(url)
	http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
	request = Net::HTTP::Put.new(uri.request_uri)
	request["Accept"] = "application/json"
	request.content_type = "application/json"
	request.body = payload
	return http.request(request)
end

def postRequest(url, payload)
	uri = URI.parse(url)
	http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
	request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri)
	request["Accept"] = "application/json"
	request.content_type = "application/json"
	request.body = payload
	return http.request(request)
end
