[rt-users] rt-client ruby gem - getting started

[Peter Roosakos]

I'm playing around with the rt-client ruby gem, and running into some 
difficulty.  After adding to my rails app and creating a .rtclientrc 
file in my project directory, I can successfully access the objects and 
methods in the console using RT_Client.new.

rt = RT_Client.new

rt.user
=> peter

returns my user name, so it's successfully accessing the configuration 
options in my config file.

rt.status
=> "RT/3.8.7 200 Ok\n\n# Invalid object specification: 
'index.html'\n\nid: index.html\n\n"

it appears that credentials aren't being passed?

rt.cookie
returns the contents of the cookie file, which is being created and can 
be found in the correct specified directory as per the .rtclientrc file.

rt.server
=> https://myserverdomain.com/rt/

and going directly to

https://myserverdomain.com/rt/REST.1.0/ticket/1/show?user=username&pass=password

Using the same username and password successfully displays the first 
ticket, so my credentials are correct

I'm on Ruby 1.9.3-p286

Any thoughts on what I might be missing?  Using the latest gem, 0.4.1
