[chef] Re: capturing http response

[Noah Kantrowitz < >]

Resources don't have return values like this, so you would want to use a 
ruby_block (or LWRP) along with Net::HTTP or a similar HTTP client library. 
You can use Chef::HTTP as a convenient wrapper client that already has stuff 
like HTTPS verification set up (if configured in client.rb, which it should 
be):

  Chef::HTTP('https://hostname').get('/path').to_s
