I’m looking for some samples on saving off an attached file from a  
response to an HTTPS Post. Here’s what I got so far. I was hoping that  
read\_body would be able to use the block keep pulling the data but all I  
get out of this is the first line of the file.

Any help would be appreciated.

require ‘uri’  
require ‘net/https’

uri = URI.parse(“[https://somewhere.com](https://somewhere.com)”)  
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.path)  
params = Hash.new  
params[“userId”] = “xxxx”  
params[“userPass”] = “yyyy”  
params[“reportDateBegin”] = “08%2F01%2F2008”  
params[“reportDateEnd”] = “08%2F25%2F2008”  
params[“reportType”] = “1”  
request.set\_form\_data(params)

begin  
http\_session = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)  
http\_session.use\_ssl = true  
http\_session.verify\_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY\_NONE  
http\_session.request(request) do |response|  
puts response.content\_type  
response.read\_body do |segment|  
#TODO save off information to file  
puts segment  
end  
end  
rescue Exception =\> e  
puts e.to\_s  
end
