Command Line Interface
httparty also includes the executable httparty which can be
used to query web services and examine the resulting output. By default
it will output the response as a pretty-printed Ruby object (useful for
grokking the structure of output). This can also be overridden to output
formatted XML or JSON. Execute httparty --help for all the
options. Below is an example of how easy it is.
httparty "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions?site=stackoverflow"

Contributing
- Fork the project.
- Run
bundle - Run
bundle exec rake - Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Run
bundle exec rake(No, REALLY :)) - Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore when I pull)
- Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
