Most Ruby web API libraries use <tt>Net::HTTP</tt> (because it's ubiquitous),

but I want to use them in my non-blocking EventMachine-based applications, and

I don't want Net::HTTP to block. I therefore wrote this.

Using the magic of Ruby 1.9's Fibers, we monkeypatch <tt>Net::HTTP</tt> to use
|
6
|
+
the faster, nonblocking <tt>[em-http-request][1]</tt> under the hood. Obviously this

will only work from inside the [EventMachine][2] event loop, and from within a spawned

The above will run without blocking your carefully-tuned nonblocking webapp.

I have vaguely tested <tt>em-net-http</tt> with <tt>[right_aws][3]</tt>,

[Weary][4] and the [Tumblr gem][5]. There's no actual unit tests as such; if you're

### Caveat
|
29
|
+
|
30
|
+
The <tt>Net::HTTP</tt> API is a many-headed hydra -- I haven't patched much of it;
|
31
|
+
in fact I've patched <tt>Net::HTTP#request</tt>, and that's it. Your mileage may
|
32
|
+
therefore vary. Please feed me patches, pull requests and bug reports!
