Does anyone have any small example code on how to use http-a

Ruby
1

Hi,

I’m trying to use the http-access2 gem to perform a basic set of login /
get
page operations on a website, from the point of view of checking site
performance. Since documentation of this library seems to be extremely
hard
to find, could someone who has used this library in the past please send
me
a basic ‘howto’ of the basic operations?

Precisely what I want to do is:

  1. Login to webpage (no https required) by sending username and password
    strings in a POST
  2. Get the body of the webpage that loads, also capturing the session
    cookie
    to keep the session alive between requests
  3. Send a post to the server that asks for the page to be updated
  4. Get the updated page
  5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 multiple times
  6. Check out on an average how much time it takes for a single page
    reload.

I’d be really grateful if someone could point me along, since this
library
seems to have everything I need to get things working, except I can’t
find
out how :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot!

Kp.

I see the “hack to fix http-access2 cookie selection bug” part. I fixed
it in a later release. Please find how it should be.

There’s a problem with the http-access2 gem docs - there’s a lot of
documentation that doesn’t seem to be extracted by rdoc. It shows up
in the comments when I read source, but not in the generated rdoc.
