/* Loading ripple-lib with Node.js */
var Remote = require('ripple-lib').Remote;
/* Loading ripple-lib in a webpage */
// var Remote = ripple.Remote;
var remote = new Remote({
// see the API Reference for available options
servers: [ 'wss://s1.ripple.com:443' ]
});
remote.connect(function() {
/* remote connected */
remote.request('server_info', function(err, info) {
});
});
```
