Setting Request Headers in Ruby

rest, ruby

Solution

The third parameter is the headers hash.

You can do what you want by:

response = RestClient.post( 
  url, 
  request,
  :content_type => :json, :accept => :json, :'x-auth-key' => "mykey")

Problem

I have the rest client gem and I am defining a request like this: ``` url = 'http://someurl' request = {"data" => data}.to_json response = RestClient.post(url,request,:content_type => :json, :accept => :json) ``` However I need to set the HTTP header to something. For example an API key. Which could be done in curl as: ``` curl -XHEAD -H x-auth-user: myusername -H x-auth-key: mykey "url" ``` Whats the best way to do this in ruby? Using this gem? Or can I do it manually to have more control.
