Hi,

could somebody show me a working example on how to execute a post via  
SSH? Some minutes before I learned that I have to use “require ‘net/  
https’” instead of net/http. But net/https is now mentioned in the  
docs!? Or am I missing something? If i use net/https my call to  
set\_form\_data seems to be ignored!? Any hint? I’m quite confused.

regards,  
Achim

There’s an example of how to convert a working HTTP client into using  
HTTPS  
here:

net/https uses ssl, not ssh. Is that what you mean?
