Ruby library for REST access status

RT Users
1

I have completed a first version of a ruby library for accessing RT via the
REST interface. It supports adding/modifying/corresponding on tickets,
adding/modifying users, and attachments (initially, as long as they fit in
memory. Streaming attachments and chunking them via HTTP is on my todo
list). It’s functionally similar to RT::Client::REST in perl, but for ruby.

However, since I wrote this on company time I need company approval to open
source it. I’ve requested that and am waiting for approval before releasing
the code.

Is there anyone on the list who would use this if it were open sourced? It
might provide some leverage to get it released if we know if there are
others out there who will use it and possibly provide patches / feature
enhancements.

Hi Tom;

I will be interested and needing something very similar in the very near
future, can I ask you what version of ruby you used? (or rather will it
work with Ruby 1.8.6?)
Thanks;

It was written using Ruby 1.8.6. I have not tested it with 1.9, but it
contains nothing itself that depends on things which don’t work in 1.9. The
dependencies however are another thing. My library depends on some other
gems, namely rest-client, tmail, and mime-types (and mime-types has
additional dependencies).
