Net::HTTP will also do that for you, with something like response = Net::HTTP.start(host, port) do |http| get = Net::HTTP::Get.new path get.form_data = some_hash get.content_type = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" http.request get end Fred --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
