Rails – speaking to rest as a mock webservice

Finally understood the distinctions between webservices and rest. Now I don't mean the theory aspects Roy Fieldings paper adequately explains the concepts and frankly helps a great deal to try to introduce technology which is along the lines of 'less is more'.

What I mean is being able to create a service mock up a test script and talk to the server using XML.

Here is an example of creating a new Person:

require 'net/http'

puts "Code: #{response.code}"
puts "Message: #{response.message}"
puts "Body:\n #{response.body}"
end


and here is an example of retrieving a list of people:

require 'net/http'

puts "Code: #{response.code}"
puts "Message: #{response.message}"
puts "Body:\n #{response.body}"
end
