Advice for Net::HTTP class

Ruby
1

Hello,
I am loosing myself with Net:HTTP class, following
HowToRenderProxiedPages article I cannot make post method to proxy
parameters to web page.

require ‘net/http’

p.php <?php print_r($_POST)?>

1. does not work

response = Net::HTTP.start(‘localhost’, 80) { |http|
http.post(‘/p.php’, ‘query=ruby’)
}
puts response

2. works

response = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(‘http://localhost/p.php’), {
“query” => “ruby”})
puts response

Can anyone please explain me why the first one doesn’t work? (I am using
Ruby 1.8.4, tested both linux and win)

thanx,
Bojan M.

thnx Mike L. for solution:

headers[‘content-type’] = ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’ if method
==‘POST’
http.post(’/p.php’, ‘query=123ruby’, headers)
