Post_form not posting to full url

Ruby
1

I am using Net::HTTP.post_form to post this form information:
{ “form_action” => “pet.do_fight”, “mcid” => “9”, “level” => “30”,
“type” => “fightmonster” }
to this url:
http://neo2.hotornot.com/facebook/pet/?fb_sig_in_iframe=1&fb_sig_time=1183152280.7875&fb_sig_user=502275480&fb_sig_profile_update_time=1182829280&fb_sig_session_key=4ca41050eb103deabc95c2c5-502275480&fb_sig_expires=0&fb_sig_api_key=692cc73d766279a46f0aaac1d104771e&fb_sig_added=1&fb_sig=c9a69599141dd3a1f4b81f46fc52ffb2&cpid=560252&msg=
and while it should be posting to this url when I used a packet sniffer
(because it was not working) it showed me that it was posting only to
this url:
http://neo2.hotornot.com/facebook/pet/
it gives me a 404:

.msg404 { font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:24px; text-align:center; }
Sorry! This page cannot be found
as well as giving me: # ...what am i doing wrong: ------------------- require 'net/http' require 'uri' spooform = { "form_action" => "pet.do_fight", "mcid" => "9", "level" => "30", "type" => "fightmonster" } fightit = "http://neo2.hotornot.com/facebook/pet/?fb_sig_in_iframe=1&fb_sig_time=1183152280.7875&fb_sig_user=502275480&fb_sig_profile_update_time=1182829280&fb_sig_session_key=4ca41050eb103deabc95c2c5-502275480&fb_sig_expires=0&fb_sig_api_key=692cc73d766279a46f0aaac1d104771e&fb_sig_added=1&fb_sig=c9a69599141dd3a1f4b81f46fc52ffb2&cpid=560252&msg=" responce = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(fightit),spooform) puts responce -------------------

this source for post_form (copied from ruby-doc.org):

def HTTP.post_form(url, params)
req = Post.new(url.path)
req.form_data = params
req.basic_auth url.user, url.password if url.user
new(url.host, url.port).start {|http|
http.request(req)
}
end

You can see that it doesn’t send Uri#query.

Try either joining the GET parameters with POST ones, and send them
all as POST params, or use Http#post and specify the path and query
string.

uri = URI.parse(‘http://…’)
i.e. Http.open(uri.host) do |http|
response = http.post(uri.path + ‘?’ + uri.query, )
end

you’d need to find out how to encode the form data.

Disclaimer: It’s 1AM here, I have not tested anything, so take these
as ideas to investigate…
