Issue #7474 has been updated by Mo Morsi.

Hey thanks for the response. Yes, submitting it as a module would be fine, will 
begin that process of pushing it there (along w/ the recent updates which we 
added since submitting this there).

Also if at any point this becomes acceptable / desirable for inclusion in the 
main puppet library, just shout out. Even if it involves additional changes to 
comply to puppet's standards (such as replacing curb w/ net::http and/or 
nokogiri w/ an equivalent package) would be willing to work with you to see it 
in.

For the time being though you can now obtain it from here:

Feature #7474: puppet web resource type / provider

As part of the aeolus project (http://aeolusproject.org) we provide a puppet 
recipe to install and configure the different components that make up the 
framework.

Several of our components primarily provide web interfaces which to configure 
the components and to create data, and previously we were manually 'exec'ing 
the curl command to invoke those requests.

The problem with this is that its tricky to both verify the HTTP response code 
as well as parse / verify the contents of the response, so to assist with this 
we wrote a generic web resource type and provider (based on libcurl) to perform 
the actual operation.

There is nothing aeolus-specific as part of this resource / provider, so I'm 
sharing it here with the hopes of getting some feedback and possibly for 
inclusion in the upstream project.

The patch itself can be found here:

Thoughts? Any way this could be included as part of puppet?
