Getting Started with the httpclient Gem for Ruby and XL Routes Static IP's

httpclient is a Ruby gem allowing you to execute HTTP commands.

You can route these commands easily via a Static IP by integrating with XLRoutes:

require 'httpclient'

xlroutes = URI(ENV["xlroutes_URL"])
proxy_url = xlroutes
client = HTTPClient.new(proxy_url)
prx_user = xlroutes.user
prx_password = xlroutes.password
client.set_proxy_auth(prx_user, prx_password)
res = client.get("http://ip.jsontest.com/")
puts res.body
