Ruby https POST with headers

Question

How can I make a Https post with a header in Ruby with a json?

I have tried:

uri = URI.parse(\"https://...\")
    https = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host,uri.

Here's a cleaner way to use Net::HTTP. If you just want to get the response and throw other objects away this is quite useful.

require 'net/http'
require 'json'

uri = URI("https://example.com/path")
res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http|
  req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)
  req['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
  # The body needs to be a JSON string, use whatever you know to parse Hash to JSON
  req.body = {a: 1}.to_json
  http.request(req)
end
# The "res" is what you need, get content from "res.body". It's a JSON string too.
