httpclient is a Ruby gem allowing you to execute HTTP commands.
You can route these commands easily via a Static IP by integrating with QuotaGuard Static:
require 'httpclient'
quotaguard = URI(ENV["QUOTAGUARDSTATIC_URL"])
proxy_url = quotaguard
client = HTTPClient.new(proxy_url)
prx_user = quotaguard.user
prx_password = quotaguard.password
client.set_proxy_auth(prx_user, prx_password)
res = client.get("http://ip.jsontest.com/")
puts res.body
