Hello,

I’m trying to make a post request to a server. This is the code I use:

* * *

require ‘net/http’  
require ‘uri’

res = Net::HTTP.post\_form(URI.parse(‘[https://someValidURL](https://someValidURL)’),  
{:trans\_id =\> “123456”, :amount =\> “20.00”})

## puts res.body

I get back this error:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/protocol.rb:133:in  
`sysread’: end of file reached (EOFError)

I searched the web but didn’t find an answer. Can anyone please help ?

Thanks in advance.
