Rails http获取请求

Question

I am trying to connect with an external API (via get request). I use Net Net::HTTP.get(URI.parse(link)). Suppose that link is the link I want to get request from. The problem is that when I run this request does not do what it has to do ( authenticate a user, based on some passwords and tokens); but if I use manually this link ( via browser) it works. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

PS I am completely new to Rails

There are a lot of resources on what you are trying to accomplish. What you are doing, is using "Ruby", not rails, to send a request to an external provider using the HTTP GET method.

If I may make a suggestion - which will accomplish that task -

Net::HTTP.get_response(url, path_to_svc)

Your code would look like -

json = Net::HTTP.get_response("apps.db.ripe.net", "/whois/lookup/ripe/inetnum/127.0.0.1.json").body
puts json

this was tested, and works.
