Ruby gem for the new Amazon SNS service

Amazon SNS gem

Introduction

A Ruby gem for use with the Amazon Simple Notification service (http://aws.amazon.com/sns/).

Usage

Quickstart Guide

gem install amaze_sns

require 'amaze-sns'

AmazeSNS.skey = 'your amazon aws secret key'

AmazeSNS.akey = 'your amazon aws access key'

# add new topic to local hash and to SNS
# You need to call create in order to access the ARN of the topic
AmazeSNS['your_topic_name'].create 

AmazeSNS['your_topic_name'].delete # removes it from both SNS and local hash

AmazeSNS.logger = my_logger # set a logger for the response`

Dependencies

Require the CrackXML gem for parsing XML responses back from SNS; EventMachine and EM-Http request gem for the requests; and ruby hmac gem for authenticating with Amazon Web Services

For Ruby 1.9.2 users, if you are having errors, please check that your em-http-request gem version is not higher than 0.2.10 although the gemspec has been updated to reflect this

Tests

The specs are partly working at the moment as the gem is still under development

The gem itself has been tested on systems running ruby 1.8.6, 1.8.7, 1.9.2
