Want to know if we can Ruby and SP in the same machine. ?

Requirement: Ruby application needs to update SharePoint resources (folder and lists) using REST API webservices calls. Is it possible? Please suggest if someone has worked on any such integration.

Regards,
Raksha

A REST API can be accessed from anywhere, not just on the same machine. That's sort of the whole point of APIs. Does SharePoint have a REST interface that you can use?

f you post what you've tried, and copy/paste the exact error you are getting back in Ruby from SharePoint, perhaps someone will recognize what is going on here. There are a lot of different ways to send a request to a REST interface from Ruby and Rails. Can you please detail exactly what you've done, with code examples?
