title: Consuming non-REST APIs in Rails with ActiveResource
body: <p>I'm writing a client that consumes a non-REST API (i.e. GET site.com/gettreasurehunts), which requires that I specify all parameters (even the resource ID) in the request's HTTP body as a custom XML document.
  I'd like to use Rails and ActiveResource, but I'd be forced to rewrite almost all of ActiveResource's methods.</p>
  
  <p>Is there another, more polished way of achieving the same result, even using another (Ruby) framework?</p>
