Does anyone know of a similar guide for Ruby? I'm an ASP.net developer and I'm trying to get some insight into other (perhaps quicker/easier) ways of doing exactly what this guide describes.

There was an REST server that responded with just a json you specify for a particular url, but god i can't recall the name.

Tho, http://requestb.in/ is a superb tool as well as https://www.runscope.com if you need more power.

p.s. this one too : http://httpbin.org/
