Posting forms looks like it should be easy with Ruby 1.8.3 and  
net/http.

Can anyone provide an example of submitting a search to e.g.  
[www.google.com](http://www.google.com),  
and printing out the results?

This code doesn’t seem to work.

require ‘net/http’  
require ‘uri’

#site=‘[http://www.google.com](http://www.google.com)’ doesn’t work either

#site=‘[Google](http://www.google.com/search)’  
btnG=‘random’

res = Net::HTTP.post\_form(URI.parse(site),  
{‘btnG’=\>btnG})  
puts res.body
