This is a super simple example app built with webmachine-ruby (the Ruby port of the Erlang webmachine library).
The app is a simple URL shortener.
POST to the root path to create a shortened link. Set the Content-Type to application/json and pass in JSON data as the request body with a "url" field. In our example, we're creating a shortened link to http://www.example.com
curl -v http://localhost:8080 -d '{"url":"http://www.example.com"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
* About to connect() to localhost port 8080 (#0)
* Trying ::1... Connection refused
* Trying 127.0.0.1... connected
* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0)

> Host: localhost:8080
