On the past few months I've been doing automated testing work on an rest API that happens to rely a lot on cookies for user authentication stuff.
HTTParty is a great gem for working with rest API's, it's easy and simple, but it doesn't provide a care free way of dealing with cookies. I mean, you have a way to read the cookies from the response, you have a way to add them to the request, but you'll have to do it manually. So like any good Rubist I've made the code for it into a little gem.
I hope it helps someone else as well.
You can find most of the information on github.
