A quick hack to post messages to talker chat rooms

quicktalk.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

domain, room, *message = ARGV
token = File.read(ENV['HOME'] + '/.talker').strip

abort <<-TEXT unless domain && room && token
  Usage: #{File.basename($0)} domain room_id [message]
    Reads from stdin if no message supplied
    Expects a user token in $HOME/.talker
TEXT

require 'uri'

base_uri = URI("https://#{domain}.talkerapp.com/rooms/#{room}/messages")

message = message.join(' ')
message = $stdin.read if message.empty?

require 'net/https'
http = Net::HTTP.new base_uri.host, base_uri.port
http.use_ssl = base_uri.scheme == 'https'
http.start

req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(base_uri.path)
req.set_form_data({'message' => message})
req['Accept'] = 'application/json'
req['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
req['X-Talker-Token'] = token

puts http.request(req).body
