#52Christ, the responses on here are absolutely what you'd expect from anyone remotely connected with the Ruby "community" - or at least a bunch of people who don't have sufficient experience with Java to comment on whether a fluent API is an improvement on the Apache HttpClient API, or HttpURLConnection (God help us, despite what Android devs think). When you've finished pissing on the colour scheme, or questioning whe…
It's Java, PHP, Python, Ruby AND Objective-C. I think the naming criticisms are fair.

Re: Unicorn
#54Of the supported languages, I only know PHP so I can't comment on the others. (and I don't really care what name/logo it uses) It looks like pretty clean work. However, this task has never really been a problem for me in PHP so I'm not likely to use it. But kudos to the author for trying to help out fellow programmers. And good luck.

Can't hear anyone else over the sound of the Ruby people...

#56Everyone, we are listening! We are throwing around new names but they all suck. Any ideas?
Since this is a small library the name should be descriptive. Unicorn and all the other animal names are fun, but should probably be reserved for large projects that aren't small building blocks.
Reading through the site I'm reminded of 5th Element's 'multipass'. You get a common REST syntax to transfer data across several languages. Playing off that could be fun; Multirest, Multiquest, etc.
Also, something with the Babel fish (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) could work; Babelrest, Babelquest...
Re: Unicorn
#57This strikes me as intentionally misleading. They're using the github angry unicorn pic. GH is a noted proponent of Unicorn the ruby app server. https://github.com/blog/517-unicorn
It's actually Daniel Shaw's logo and he has given us (and GitHub I presume) permission to use it. Sorry for the confusion, we really dropped the ball.

#58Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you want to go with Gryphon, here's a nice piece of open-source artwork: http://units.wesnoth.org/trunk/pics/core$images$portraits$mo...
Wow, are you sure this is open-source? We are going over names and this one seems the fastest to replace unicorn with.
Yeah, it's from Battle for Wesnoth (www.wesnoth.org), all of their core artwork is GPL2 licensed. If I remember right, there is some talk in their forums encouraging other open source games to use their artwork. If you are interested you ought to look around their community for the right person to ask permission.

#60Nice to see a multi-language HTTP library, but I won't be stepping away from python-requests.org anytime soon.
