Hey Guys! Anyone know where I can find some documentation for using  
HTTP verbs in ruby? (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). I’d tried digging  
through the documentation for curb & httparty, but they were a tad to  
terse or the examples didn’t cover all the bases for me as I’m pretty  
new to the language. Anyone know where I can find a few examples. I’m  
looking to dig into the google api’s with ruby.

Thanks in advance!

I’ve recently gone through the same exercise… found the Net::HTTP  
library worked well for my needs:
