hi all,

I have a rails application at http://electric-sky-98.heroku.com/products

require ‘net/http’
require ‘uri’
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(‘http://electric-
sky-98.heroku.com/products.xml’))
puts res.body

the above code gave me the xml file below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Tubers 2010-10-30T01:35:48Z 1 Yam £ 30 100 tubers WDW332 2010-10-30T01:35:48Z

QUESTION:::
How do i create a new product object at
http://electric-sky-98.heroku.com/products
with ruby HTTP POST

look at the documents at
http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/classes/Net/HTTP.html

basically you want to do a http.post_form

something like:

res = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(‘http://electric-
sky-98.heroku.com/products/new’), “brand”=>“brandstuff”, “name”
=>“nameStuff”, … the rest of the fields …)
