#Reusable cookies container to persist cookies between different remote controllers of the same remote application
cookies_container = RemoteController::CookiesContainer.new

#Sessions controller is bound to 'http://my-application.com/sessions' url
sessions                   = RemoteController::Base.new('http://my-application.com/sessions')
sessions.cookies_container = cookies_container

# GET: http://my-application.com/sessions/authenticity_token
# Response is string containing authenticity token. It will also start a new session.
# CookiesContainer will hold session cookies (and all other cookies) automatically
authenticity_token = sessions.authenticity_token

# POST http://my-application.com/sessions/authorize
# POST body:
# => authenticity_token=authenticity+token&login=admin&password=password
# => in case response is not 200 then exception is thrown
sessions.authorize(:post, :authenticity_token => authenticity_token, :login => "admin", :password => "password")

#Reports controller is bound to 'http://my-application.com/reports'
reports                    = RemoteController::Base.new('http://my-application.com/reports')
reports.cookies_container = cookies_container #Reusing cookies container to preserve the same session...

# POST http://my-application.com/sessions/create
# POST body is in multipart POST form. It has two parts:
# => name = New report
# => attachment = sample1.txt file
attachment = RemoteController.file_part(File.expand_path("../sample1.txt", __FILE__), "text/plain")
reports.create(:multipart, :name => "New report", :attachment => attachment)
