Sending http post requests

Rails
1

I’m trying to send http post request in the controller to a web address.
In my application I’m using ajax to communicate with the controller, and
then use the controller to pass the message on to a remote server,
something you can’t do using ajax because of browser security problems.
Just wondering what the syntax for a http post is in rails.
Thanks
Alex

Check out

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/index.html

Essentially, you can

require ‘net/http’

then set up your headers and such before performing a

resp, data = http.post(path, data, headers)

It isn’t really Rails. It’s part of the Ruby standard library.
