HTTP.post_form in Ruby with custom headers

Question

Im trying to use Nets/HTTP to use POST and put in a custom user agent. I\'ve typically used open-uri but it cant do POST can it?

Answer 1

require "net/http"

uri = URI.parse('https://your_url.com')
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
http.ca_path='/etc/pki/tls/certs/'
http.ca_file='/etc/pki/tls/certs/YOUR_CERT_CHAIN_FILE'
http.cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(File.read("YOUR_CERT)_FILE"))
http.key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.read("YOUR_KEY_FILE"))

#SSLv3 is cracked, and often not allowed
http.ssl_version = :TLSv1_2

#### This is IMPORTANT
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

#Crete the POST request
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri)
request.add_field 'X_REMOTE_USER', 'soap_remote_user'
request.add_field 'Accept', '*'
request.add_field 'SOAPAction', 'soap_action'
request.body = request_payload

#Get Response
response = http.request(request)

#Review Response
puts response.body
