How do I make a POST request with open-uri?

Question

Is it possible to make a POST request from Ruby with open-uri?

Answer 1

require 'open-uri'
require 'net/http'
params = {'param1' => 'value1', 'param2' => 'value2'}
url = URI.parse('http://thewebsite.com/thepath')
resp, data = Net::HTTP.post_form(url, params)
puts resp.inspect
puts data.inspect

It worked for me :)
