hello all,
i try to use google's geocoding service
it lets me call an url with a given address and receive information like
e.g. latitude, longitude, etc.
now i was wondering whats the best solution to call this within a rails
project.
- is there something like a low level httprequest object
- can i use an activeresource for it?
- i dont want to use it with AJAX, because i need to progress a lot of
addresses

Net::HTTP is the standard ruby thing for making http calls. Whether or not you can use ActiveResource rather depends on whether the format of the data matches what activeresource expects.
