Advice for Net::HTTP class

ruby-talk
1

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)
