A cheat sheet repository of copy-paste examples for Ruby's built-in Net::HTTP standard library, covering requests, headers, file uploads, and other HTTP tasks. It also points readers to modern alternatives like RestClient, noting the examples date from when Net::HTTP was commonly used directly.

Use cases

• make an HTTP request in Ruby without gems
• upload multipart files with Net::HTTP
• learn how Ruby's Net::HTTP library works
• find example code for setting HTTP headers in Ruby
• send POST requests with Ruby standard library
• compare Net::HTTP with RestClient

When to choose

• you must use Ruby's standard library with no external dependencies
• you want to understand what HTTP client gems do under the hood
• you need a quick reference for Net::HTTP syntax

When to avoid

• you want a pleasant HTTP client API for a real project - use RestClient, HTTParty, or Faraday instead
• you need actively maintained documentation for modern Ruby
• you need async or streaming HTTP features
