+module ActiveResource
+  # ActiveResource::Base is the main class for mapping RESTful resources as models in a Rails application.
+  #
+  # For an outline of what Active Resource is capable of, see its {README}[link:files/activeresource/README_rdoc.html].
+  #
+  # == Automated mapping
+  #
+  # Active Resource objects represent your RESTful resources as manipulatable Ruby objects. To map resources
+  # to Ruby objects, Active Resource only needs a class name that corresponds to the resource name (e.g., the class
+  # Person maps to the resources people, very similarly to Active Record) and a +site+ value, which holds the
+  # URI of the resources.
+  #
+  #   class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+  #     self.site = "https://api.people.com"
+  #   end
+  #
+  # Now the Person class is mapped to RESTful resources located at <tt>https://api.people.com/people/</tt>, and
+  # you can now use Active Resource's life cycle methods to manipulate resources. In the case where you already have
+  # an existing model with the same name as the desired RESTful resource you can set the +element_name+ value.
+  #
+  #   class PersonResource < ActiveResource::Base
+  #     self.site = "https://api.people.com"
+  #     self.element_name = "person"
+  #   end
+  #
+  # If your Active Resource object is required to use an HTTP proxy you can set the +proxy+ value which holds a URI.
+  #
+  #   class PersonResource < ActiveResource::Base
+  #     self.site = "https://api.people.com"
+  #     self.proxy = "https://user:password@proxy.people.com:8080"
+  #   end
+  #
+  #
+  # == Life cycle methods
+  #
+  # Active Resource exposes methods for creating, finding, updating, and deleting resources
+  # from REST web services.
+  #
+  #   ryan = Person.new(:first => 'Ryan', :last => 'Daigle')
+  #   ryan.save                # => true
+  #   ryan.id                  # => 2
+  #   Person.exists?(ryan.id)  # => true
+  #   ryan.exists?             # => true
+  #
+  #   ryan = Person.find(1)
+  #   # Resource holding our newly created Person object
+  #
+  #   ryan.first = 'Rizzle'
+  #   ryan.save                # => true
+  #
+  #   ryan.destroy             # => true
+  #
+  # As you can see, these are very similar to Active Record's life cycle methods for database records.
+  # You can read more about each of these methods in their respective documentation.
+  #
+  # === Custom REST methods
+  #
+  # Since simple CRUD/life cycle methods can't accomplish every task, Active Resource also supports
+  # defining your own custom REST methods. To invoke them, Active Resource provides the <tt>get</tt>,
+  # <tt>post</tt>, <tt>put</tt> and <tt>delete</tt> methods where you can specify a custom REST method
+  # name to invoke.
+  #
+  #   # POST to the custom 'register' REST method, i.e. POST /people/new/register.json.
+  #   Person.new(:name => 'Ryan').post(:register)
+  #   # => { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan', :position => 'Clerk' }
+  #
+  #   # PUT an update by invoking the 'promote' REST method, i.e. PUT /people/1/promote.json?position=Manager.
+  #   Person.find(1).put(:promote, :position => 'Manager')
+  #   # => { :id => 1, :name => 'Ryan', :position => 'Manager' }
+  #
+  #   # GET all the positions available, i.e. GET /people/positions.json.
+  #   Person.get(:positions)
+  #   # => [{:name => 'Manager'}, {:name => 'Clerk'}]
+  #
+  #   # DELETE to 'fire' a person, i.e. DELETE /people/1/fire.json.
+  #   Person.find(1).delete(:fire)
+  #
+  # For more information on using custom REST methods, see the
+  # ActiveResource::CustomMethods documentation.
+  #
+  # == Validations
+  #
+  # You can validate resources client side by overriding validation methods in the base class.
+  #
+  #   class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+  #      self.site = "https://api.people.com"
+  #      protected
+  #        def validate
+  #          errors.add("last", "has invalid characters") unless last =~ /[a-zA-Z]*/
+  #        end
+  #   end
+  #
+  # See the ActiveResource::Validations documentation for more information.
+  #
+  # == Authentication
+  #
+  # Many REST APIs require authentication. The HTTP spec describes two ways to
+  # make requests with a username and password (see RFC 2617).
+  #
+  # Basic authentication simply sends a username and password along with HTTP
+  # requests. These sensitive credentials are sent unencrypted, visible to
+  # any onlooker, so this scheme should only be used with SSL.
+  #
+  # Digest authentication sends a crytographic hash of the username, password,
+  # HTTP method, URI, and a single-use secret key provided by the server.
+  # Sensitive credentials aren't visible to onlookers, so digest authentication
+  # doesn't require SSL. However, this doesn't mean the connection is secure!
+  # Just the username and password.
+  #
+  # (You really, really want to use SSL. There's little reason not to.)
+  #
+  # === Picking an authentication scheme
+  #
+  # Basic authentication is the default. To switch to digest authentication,
+  # set +auth_type+ to +:digest+:
+  #
+  #    class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+  #      self.auth_type = :digest
+  #    end
+  #
+  # === Setting the username and password
+  #
+  # Set +user+ and +password+ on the class, or include them in the +site+ URL.
+  #
+  #    class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+  #      # Set user and password directly:
+  #      self.user = "ryan"
+  #      self.password = "password"
+  #
+  #      # Or include them in the site:
+  #      self.site = "https://ryan:password@api.people.com"
+  #    end
+  #
+  # === Certificate Authentication
+  #
+  # You can also authenticate using an X509 certificate. <tt>See ssl_options=</tt> for all options.
+  #
+  #    class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+  #      self.site = "https://secure.api.people.com/"
+  #
+  #      File.open(pem_file_path, 'rb') do |pem_file|
+  #        self.ssl_options = {
+  #          cert:        OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(pem_file),
+  #          key:         OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(pem_file),
+  #          ca_path:     "/path/to/OpenSSL/formatted/CA_Certs",
+  #          verify_mode: OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER }
+  #      end
+  #    end
+  #
+  #
+  # == Errors & Validation
+  #
+  # Error handling and validation is handled in much the same manner as you're used to seeing in
+  # Active Record. Both the response code in the HTTP response and the body of the response are used to
+  # indicate that an error occurred.
+  #
+  # === Resource errors
+  #
+  # When a GET is requested for a resource that does not exist, the HTTP <tt>404</tt> (Resource Not Found)
+  # response code will be returned from the server which will raise an ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
+  # exception.
+  #
+  #   # GET https://api.people.com/people/999.json
+  #   ryan = Person.find(999) # 404, raises ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
+  #
+  #
+  # <tt>404</tt> is just one of the HTTP error response codes that Active Resource will handle with its own exception. The
+  # following HTTP response codes will also result in these exceptions:
+  #
+  # * 200..399 - Valid response. No exceptions, other than these redirects:
+  # * 301, 302, 303, 307 - ActiveResource::Redirection
+  # * 400 - ActiveResource::BadRequest
+  # * 401 - ActiveResource::UnauthorizedAccess
+  # * 403 - ActiveResource::ForbiddenAccess
+  # * 404 - ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
+  # * 405 - ActiveResource::MethodNotAllowed
+  # * 409 - ActiveResource::ResourceConflict
+  # * 410 - ActiveResource::ResourceGone
+  # * 422 - ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid (rescued by save as validation errors)
+  # * 401..499 - ActiveResource::ClientError
+  # * 500..599 - ActiveResource::ServerError
+  # * Other - ActiveResource::ConnectionError
+  #
+  # These custom exceptions allow you to deal with resource errors more naturally and with more precision
+  # rather than returning a general HTTP error. For example:
+  #
+  #   begin
+  #     ryan = Person.find(my_id)
+  #   rescue ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound
+  #     redirect_to :action => 'not_found'
+  #   rescue ActiveResource::ResourceConflict, ActiveResource::ResourceInvalid
+  #     redirect_to :action => 'new'
+  #   end
+  #
+  # When a GET is requested for a nested resource and you don't provide the prefix_param
+  # an ActiveResource::MissingPrefixParam will be raised.
+  #
+  #  class Comment < ActiveResource::Base
+  #    self.site = "https://someip.com/posts/:post_id"
+  #  end
+  #
+  #  Comment.find(1)
+  #  # => ActiveResource::MissingPrefixParam: post_id prefix_option is missing
+  #
+  # === Validation errors
+  #
+  # Active Resource supports validations on resources and will return errors if any of these validations fail
+  # (e.g., "First name can not be blank" and so on). These types of errors are denoted in the response by
+  # a response code of <tt>422</tt> and an JSON or XML representation of the validation errors. The save operation will
+  # then fail (with a <tt>false</tt> return value) and the validation errors can be accessed on the resource in question.
+  #
+  #   ryan = Person.find(1)
+  #   ryan.first # => ''
+  #   ryan.save  # => false
+  #
+  #   # When
+  #   # PUT https://api.people.com/people/1.xml
+  #   # or
+  #   # PUT https://api.people.com/people/1.json
+  #   # is requested with invalid values, the response is:
+  #   #
+  #   # Response (422):
+  #   # <errors><error>First cannot be empty</error></errors>
+  #   # or
+  #   # {"errors":{"first":["cannot be empty"]}}
+  #   #
+  #
+  #   ryan.errors.invalid?(:first)  # => true
+  #   ryan.errors.full_messages     # => ['First cannot be empty']
+  #
+  # For backwards-compatibility with older endpoints, the following formats are also supported in JSON responses:
+  #
+  #   # {"errors":['First cannot be empty']}
+  #   #   This was the required format for previous versions of ActiveResource
+  #   # {"first":["cannot be empty"]}
+  #   #   This was the default format produced by respond_with in ActionController <3.2.1
+  #
+  # Parsing either of these formats will result in a deprecation warning.
+  #
+  # Learn more about Active Resource's validation features in the ActiveResource::Validations documentation.
+  #
+  # === Timeouts
+  #
+  # Active Resource relies on HTTP to access RESTful APIs and as such is inherently susceptible to slow or
+  # unresponsive servers. In such cases, your Active Resource method calls could \timeout. You can control the
+  # amount of time before Active Resource times out with the +timeout+ variable.
+  #
+  #   class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+  #     self.site = "https://api.people.com"
+  #     self.timeout = 5
+  #   end
+  #
+  # This sets the +timeout+ to 5 seconds. You can adjust the +timeout+ to a value suitable for the RESTful API
+  # you are accessing. It is recommended to set this to a reasonably low value to allow your Active Resource
+  # clients (especially if you are using Active Resource in a Rails application) to fail-fast (see
+  # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-fast) rather than cause cascading failures that could incapacitate your
+  # server.
+  #
+  # When a \timeout occurs, an ActiveResource::TimeoutError is raised. You should rescue from
+  # ActiveResource::TimeoutError in your Active Resource method calls.
+  #
+  # Internally, Active Resource relies on Ruby's Net::HTTP library to make HTTP requests. Setting +timeout+
+  # sets the <tt>read_timeout</tt> of the internal Net::HTTP instance to the same value. The default
+  # <tt>read_timeout</tt> is 60 seconds on most Ruby implementations.
+  #
+  # Active Resource also supports distinct +open_timeout+ (time to connect) and +read_timeout+ (how long to
+  # wait for an upstream response). This is inline with supported +Net::HTTP+ timeout configuration and allows
+  # for finer control of client timeouts depending on context.
+  #
+  #   class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+  #     self.site = "https://api.people.com"
+  #     self.open_timeout = 2
+  #     self.read_timeout = 10
+  #   end
+  class Base
+    ##
+    # :singleton-method:
+    # The logger for diagnosing and tracing Active Resource calls.

+      # The schema helps define the set of <tt>known_attributes</tt> of the
+      # current resource.
+      #
+      # There is no need to specify a schema for your Active Resource. If
+      # you do not, the <tt>known_attributes</tt> will be guessed from the
+      # instance attributes returned when an instance is fetched from the
+      # remote system.
+      #
+      # example:
+      #   class Person < ActiveResource::Base
+      #     schema do

+      # tuned...
