Net::HTTP - POST and GET in the same request

subsume@gmail.com

5/25/2007 8:15:00 PM

I have a peculiar problem where I need to submit POST data to a script
which has get variables (script.asp?variable=true)

But Net:HTTP seems to have gone to great lengths to prevent this.
Obviously, its messy and looked down upon but unfortunately I cannot
control this.

Running tests:

body =
Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse('http://www.server.net/post.ph...),
{'A'=>'1','B'=>'2','C' => '3'})

puts body.body

---------

Above, the POST variables are the only ones which hit the server.
Apparently everything after the '?' is totally ignored. Please help!

Try the following:

http = Net::HTTP.new('http://www.serve...)
response = http.post('/post.php', 'x=y', {'A'=>'1','B'=>'2','C' =>
'3'})

puts response.body

Hope it helps!

The x=y become POST variables and the {'A'=>'1' ...} drop out of the
equation entirely.

Actual code:

http = Net:HTTP.new(domain.com)
response = http.post(script.asp,'x=y',{'A'=>'1','B'=>'2'})
content = response.body

Perhaps I have misapplied it?

Note: including http:// in the domain gives a connection error,
strangely.

That is true, my typo...

OOOOPsssss I'm sorry, my fault!

Try this:
http = Net::HTTP.new('domain.com')
response = http.post('/script.asp', 'x=y')
content = response.body

The {} sets header fields if you take a closer look at the post
request itself you will see them there.

Now you've confused me. The above example doesn't even contain the
variables I want to send as POST. I need to send x=y as GET and a=1 as
POST. Get it?

In other words: I need to POST 'a=1' to 'script.asp?y=z'

Okay, then change the following:

response = http.post('/script.asp?y=z', 'a=1')

Sorry for the confusion.... ;)
