AOL support for Rails contacts gem
I’ve just finished adding AOL support to the Rails contacts gem. You can check out my code here: http://github.com/onomojo/contacts-gem
Until this is officially added to the contacts gem release, you’ll need to create a RAILS_ROOT/lib/contacts/aol.rb file with the following contents:
class Hash
def to_query_string
u = ERB::Util.method(:u)
map { |k, v|
u.call(k) + “=” + u.call(v)
}.join(“&”)
end
end
class Contacts
require ‘hpricot’
class Aol < Base
URL = "http://www.aol.com/"
LOGIN_URL = "https://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp"
LOGIN_REFERER_URL = "http://webmail.aol.com/"

PROTOCOL_ERROR = "AOL has changed its protocols, please upgrade this library first. If that does not work, dive into the code and submit a patch at http://github.com/cardmagic/contacts"

I’ve submitted the source to the authors so it should be added in the next few weeks.
