Looking for a net/http example

Ruby
#1

Hey folks, I am hoping someone can post a quick net/http example which
illustrates a POST method call with multipart/related content, I think I
am confused as to which info is specified in the headers and which is
passed as data, an example would really hep and I’d be very grateful.

Thanks,
Andy

Here is some code snippet from gmailer.rb

       postdata = {}
       postdata["msgbody"] = stripslashes(body)
       postdata["from"] = stripslashes(from) if from
       postdata["to"] = stripslashes(to)
       postdata["subject"] = stripslashes(subject)
       postdata["cc"] = stripslashes(cc)
       postdata["bcc"] = stripslashes(bcc)

       boundary =

“----#{Time.now.to_i}#{(rand(2000)*2147483.648).to_i}”
postdata2 = []
postdata.each {|k,v|
postdata2.push(“Content-Disposition: form-data;
name=”#{k}"\r\n\r\n#{v}\r\n")
}

       files.each_with_index do |f,i|
          content = File.open(f,'rb') { |c| c.read }
          postdata2.push("Content-Disposition: form-data;

name=“file#{i}”; filename="#{File.basename(f)}"\r\n" +
“Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n” +
“Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n” +
content + “\r\n”)
end

       postdata = postdata2.collect { |p|
             "--" + boundary + "\r\n" + p
       }.join('') + "--" + boundary + "--\r\n"

       np =

Net::HTTP::Proxy(@proxy_host,@proxy_port,@proxy_user,@proxy_pass).new(GM_LNK_HOST,
80)
response = nil
np.start { |http|
response = http.post(GM_LNK_GMAIL, postdata,{‘Cookie’ =>
@cookie_str,‘User-agent’ => GM_USER_AGENT,‘Content-type’ =>
‘multipart/form-data; boundary=’ + boundary } )
}

If you want full source, try gem install gmailer
