Overview

Class for representing {Net::HTTP method GET}:

require 'net/http'
uri = URI('http://example.com')
hostname = uri.hostname # => "example.com"
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri) # => #<Net::HTTP::Get GET>
res = Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http|

http.request(req)

end

See Request Headers.

Properties:

Request body: optional.
Response body: yes.
Safe: yes.

#each_header	Calls the block with each key/value pair:
#each_key	Alias for Net::HTTPHeader#each_name.
#each_name	Calls the block with each field key:
#each_value	Calls the block with each string field value:
#fetch	With a block, returns the string value for #key if it exists; otherwise returns the value of the block; ignores the `default_val`; see `Fields`:
