require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
require 'json'

class ProperHTTP
  def self.get(uri)
    handle_response Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(uri))
  end

  def self.post(uri, payload)
    handle_response Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(uri), payload)
  end

  def self.handle_response(response)
    return JSON.parse(response.body, symbolize_names: true) if response.content_type == "application/json"
    response.body
  end
