Excon::Addressable

Sets Addressable as the default URI parser. Supports parsing templated uris.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'excon-addressable'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install excon-addressable

Be sure to add Excon::Addressable::Middleware to the top of the middleware stack, so that the variables get expanded as early as possible. This prevents other middleware from choking on non-valid URIs.

Excon.defaults[:middlewares].unshift(Excon::Addressable::Middleware)

Then simply provide a templated variable, and the values with which to expand the template:

conn = Excon.new('http://www.example.com/{uid}', expand: { uid: 'hello' })
conn.request.path # => '/hello'
