please?
#from the api on ruby-doc.org. http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdl...
net/http/rdoc/classes/Net/HTTP.html

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

#1: Simple POST
res = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse('http://www.ex...
search.cgi'),
{'q'=>'ruby', 'max'=>'50'})
puts res.body


5: undefined method `post_form' for Net::HTTP:Class (NoMethodError)

am i missing something here? if it matters, my OS is Tiger... ruby
1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.2.0]

alternatively, how to you make Mechanize work from inside rails? i'm
trying to screen scrape a table from another site then load the
information back on my page.

why does time fly so fast when i'm stuck on something?

Works for me (cygwin, Ruby 1.8.4). Maybe it was renamed. Try

ruby -r net/http -e 'puts Net::HTTP.public_methods.grep(/post/i).sort'

ruby -r net/http -e 'puts Net::HTTP.public_methods.sort'

Hehe, know that - been there before. Sometimes it helps to just have a
break.

Kind regards

Tiger's Ruby is an old version. post_form is present in the current
version of ruby, which is what ruby-doc.org documents.
