Advice for Net::HTTP class

[Bojan Mihelac]

Hello,
I am loosing myself with Net:HTTP class, following
HowToRenderProxiedPages article I cannot make post method to proxy
parameters to web page.


require 'net/http'
### p.php <?php print_r($_POST)?>

### 1. does not work
response = Net::HTTP.start('localhost', 80) { |http|
http.post('/p.php', 'query=ruby')
}
puts response

### 2. works
response = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse('http://localhost/p.php'), {
"query" => "ruby"})
puts response


Can anyone please explain me why the first one doesn't work? (I am using
Ruby 1.8.4, tested both linux and win)

thanx,
Bojan Mihelac

thnx Mike L. for solution:

headers['content-type'] = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' if method
=='POST'
http.post('/p.php', 'query=123ruby', headers)
