Restclient 0.8 released with new features:

• The restclient binary can take get/put/post/delete as the first argument:

$ restclient get http://example.com

Try it with a payload and authentication:

$ cat body | restclient post https://example.com user pass

Take that, curl.

• Set default headers when creating resources, courtesy of Pedro Belo:

RestClient::Resource.new("http://example.com", :headers => { :custom_header => 'something' })

All subresources created from the master resource will inherit the headers.

• Proxy support, courtsey of Brian Donovan:

RestClient.proxy = 'http://proxy.example.com/'
RestClient.get 'http://some/resource'
