Hello all,

I have a rails request that I have to parse and re-submit to another  
form sitting on a web server on another machine.  
I use the following code to post the form

Net::HTTP.post\_form(URI.parse(URL’),  
{‘Username’=\>’’, ‘message’=\>params[:reply]})

And it works nicely, except that it will not stop resubmitting the  
form, even after the rails app has moved on the form is continuously  
resubmitting in the background.

I think this is something stupid that stupid old me ain’t picking up  
on. Nevertheless it’s annoying and I want it gone, so any help is  
greatly appreciated.

john
