Three months ago i wrote about testing atom API . It used Builder library for XML parsing to create the XML document in ruby. Back then all i can do is posting a string of "Hellooo". So last night i tried to enhance it a bit.
The Lorem above is a saved text file read by the code. The formatting in the text file is written in textile format and then processed by RedCloth so it will return the HTML presentation of the file. I added some new lines in the old atompost.rb :

require 'redcloth'
str = IO.read("lorem.txt")
r = RedCloth.new(str)

The code above reads lorem.txt and pass it to an str and read by RedCloth. In the content part of the XML document, r.to_html returns the HTML presentation of the textilized text :

entry.content(:type =>'application/xhtml+xml'){|content|
content.div(:xmlns=>'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'){
content << r.to_html}
}

So here is the revisited code :

require 'net/https'
require 'builder'
require 'redcloth'
str = IO.read("lorem.txt")
r = RedCloth.new(str)

xml = ''
doc = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target => xml, :indent =>2)
doc.instruct!
doc.entry(:xmlns=>'http://purl.org/atom/ns#'){|entry|
entry.title("Test Atom API : Revisited", :mode
=>'escaped',:type=>'text/plain')
entry.issued("2006-12-01T01:07:20Z")
entry.generator("DendiPoster", :url =>'http://mociman.blogspot.com')
entry.content(:type =>'application/xhtml+xml'){|content|
content.div(:xmlns=>'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'){content << r.to_html}
}
}
http = Net::HTTP.new('www.blogger.com', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
http.start do |http|
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new('/atom/7917465')
request.set_content_type 'application/xml'
request.basic_auth 'thausaname', 'thapasswad'
request.body=(xml)
response = http.request(request)
puts response.body
puts response.header
puts request.body
end

Of course, this atompost.rb is not final yet. I still have some problems constructing the datetime, and the entry status. Just wait the next iteration on this one, The Revolution!
Well, maybe it'll be more like The Evolution... hehe

Lorem.txt - The highlighted text is textile formatted. :

I used textile because it is easier to write *this is a strong text* than <strong>this is a strong text </strong>
