Hi
Can some one please tell me how to encode the headers(HTTP request) in the call
to HTTP post method
the signature of post was
def Net::Http.post( path, query, header )
But no where in the manual can i found something about this header
except that its a HASH
Awaiting eagerly for your replies
Bye
Daun Jaun
To find out more about HTTP headers:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.start('localhost', 80) { |http|
response = http.post('/index.html', {'Host' => 'localhost', 'User-Agent' => 'MyBrowser'});
}
Regards,
Doug

It's optional. If you want to include additional http headers, like
the referer, or the size of the data you are posting, call it like
this:
result = server.post("/", data, {"Referer" => "http://example.com",
"Content-Length" => data.size})
If you don't know if you need to send extra headers, then you probably
don't need to 
So just omit them:
result = server.post("/",data)
HTH,
Mark

Google is your friend Googling 'cookie header' gives us:
http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
the format for the header is:
Set-Cookie: NAME=VALUE; expires=DATE;
path=PATH; domain=DOMAIN_NAME; secure
So the header hash might look something like this:
cookie = "NAME=foo;expires=Wdy, DD-Mon-YYYY HH:MM:SS GMT;"+
"domain=example.com;path=/foo/bar;"
{"Set-Cookie" => cookie}

Thanx for ur response;
seems i am not clearly explaining u what i want;
I am not interested in sending cookies to the browser/client; infact
I am playing the role of a browser here and i want to talk to the server
and in this situation i have to send (stored) cookies (at browser say)
to the program@server
This format or way of doing this is different from the way we play a
server role and send cookies to the client ; its can be
easily done using cgi.out
Unfortunately the same way does not work out with
httpObj.post
And coming to http_access2 its all complex i am unable to understand
Please help me..........

When requesting a URL from an HTTP server, the browser will match the
URL against all cookies and if any of them match, a line containing
the name/value pairs of all matching cookies will be included in the
HTTP request. Here is the format of that line:
Cookie: NAME1=OPAQUE_STRING1; NAME2=OPAQUE_STRING2 ...

That should get you going on it...

Yeah Edwin
I have peeped in to that code and samples early in the morning
But I am unable to grasp what is exactly goin on ;
I have to figure it out 
But I dont want to take help of this http_access2 because I am not
developin a s/w which is as complex as a browser, all my piece of
s/w shud do is be a proxy ( intermediary*&# ) at an application layer
between the browser and the original server

i was hoping you'd look at http_access2. if you have downloaded
the tar ball and at least looked at the sample dir, you'd get an idea on
how to use cookies. from there, you'd look at webagent or soap4r
and how these beasts manage cookies.
personally, i don;t have time to look at these but you would, since
you have the need.
you need to focus, and not just whine. i'm not trying to dis you.
just hoping that you;d do your part since i spent the time looking
for that darn piece of software you need.
