Looks very promising. I see it currently uses Net::HTTP under the hood - do you plan to keep it that way, like Httparty and Faraday, or are you going to do away with Net::HTTP altogether? (The comment saying "this is temporary" next to requiring 'net/https' is encouraging... :))

I plan on eliminating Net::HTTP entirely and writing my own client using Carl Lerche's parser for his Picard library which is written in Ragel:
