Ruby's Net::HTTP requires that you send url.query specifically. Check out the Readme in the RDoc and you should be able to figure it out.

A comment on the question "Handling the case of "former employees"" in Get Satisfaction:

As a former employee of Get Satisfaction, all the content I created no longer shows my employee badge. I'm not too concerned about that, since I believe the content stands on its own. – Cameron Walters, on April 20, 2009 17:49

Cameron Walters marked one of Lane Becker's replies in Get Satisfaction as useful. Lane Becker replied to the question "Why is Get Satisfaction acting so irresponsibly?". Cameron Walters and 4 other people think it's one of the best replies.

Cameron Walters replied on April 02, 2009 22:16 to the problem "a.be too short" in Domainr:

Thanks for reporting this one to us. And thanks even more for providing a reference where I could confirm the problem. I've fixed this in our data and it will go out with an update soon.

Hey Alfredo,

What I see is that DNS isn't returning a useful response for orenses.net. The interface in Domainr reflects that properly in two ways:

First, at the orange arrowhead in the image below, the status square in the search results is only half full. Second, the message states "this domain might be available," not "this domain is available" as with available names.

A comment on the question "Is it possible to use a Satisfaction widget over HTTPS?" in Get Satisfaction:

If GSFN had favorites, this would be one for me. – Cameron Walters, on March 24, 2009 07:48

Cameron Walters replied on March 19, 2009 21:00 to the update "We’ve added IDN support!" in Domainr:

By the way, you can type a ™ into a web form like Get Satisfaction’s by using "™"

Cameron Walters replied on March 19, 2009 20:59 to the update "We’ve added IDN support!" in Domainr:

This one? ™ I'm not sure why that character isn't coming through the search (or Get Satisfaction for that matter). We'll look into our character normalization code and see why the ™ is being eaten.

Cameron Walters replied on March 05, 2009 17:50 to the problem "domain too short" in Domainr:

Hey Chris, sorry to get your hopes up about that great domain. We've double checked with with the Luxembourg registrars and 3 characters is the minimum.

We're deploying a fix within the hour. Thanks for letting us know.

Cameron Walters replied on February 12, 2009 21:44 to the problem ".mu length" in Domainr:

I've updated the minimum length for .mu to 2 characters. 101domain.com claims it must be 3 characters minimum, but they are incorrect. Try registering sa.mu on https://secure.coccaregistry.net/

Cameron Walters set one of Cameron Walters' replies as an official response to "What's the registration process for a .nr top-level domain?" in Domainr

Cameron Walters replied on February 12, 2009 21:34 to the question "What's the registration process for a .nr top-level domain?" in Domainr:

All top-level .nr registrations cost $500 (as of the last time we registered one). I believe filling out the form means you have to pay or they won't actually assign the domain to you.

Cameron Walters replied on January 28, 2009 00:22 to the question "What's the registration process for a .nr top-level domain?" in Domainr:

This is how we registered Domai.nr. It seemed very strange to use a wire transfer to send money to an Australian bank account—almost like a Nigerian email scam—but it was completely legitimate.

We wired the money, emailed the CENPAC technical contact for Nauru (.nr), and they activated our domain within a day.

Cameron Walters asked a question in Domainr on January 28, 2009 00:19:

What's the registration process for a .nr top-level domain?

How do I pay for my domain name?

The instructions at http://www.cenpac.net.nr/dns/ are pretty strange:

For the moment we accept only money transfers and cash at our office (the information will be given to you after you register). The domain will be reserved for a period of one month till we receive the payment. We will then activate your domain.

Cameron Walters started following the idea "API and Reseller" in Name.com.

Roger Herbert's reply to "Stop asking for Twitter passwords" was just promoted to the most useful! Cameron Walters and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

You're asking for someone's password. You're giving the casual web user the impression that giving passwords out to 3rd party sites is ok. There are now dozens of twitter apps doing this and making it seem like 'the norm' and that there's nothing to worry about.

What about all those casual web users who use the same user/pass combo across a load of sites? It only takes one fake twitter app with a pretty interface (or a duplicate of your interface) to harvest such details and then go around testing them against all the major social networks, paypal, ebay, bank websites and so on until they find one that lets them in.

Nice domain, Maki! Sweet find.

Cameron Walters replied on October 29, 2008 23:15 to the question "Handling the case of "former employees"" in Get Satisfaction:

I am particularly interested in the answer to this question. Currently nothing I've ever posted shows that I was an employee when I posted it. Oops!
