Looking for a net/http example

Hey folks, I am hoping someone can post a quick net/http example which illustrates a POST method call with multipart/related content, I think I am confused as to which info is specified in the headers and which is passed as data, an example would really hep and I'd be very grateful.

Thanks,
Andy

Here is some code snippet from gmailer.rb

           postdata = {}
           postdata["msgbody"] = stripslashes(body)
           postdata["from"] = stripslashes(from) if from
           postdata["to"] = stripslashes(to)
           postdata["subject"] = stripslashes(subject)
           postdata["cc"] = stripslashes(cc)
           postdata["bcc"] = stripslashes(bcc)

           boundary = "----#{Time.now.to_i}#{(rand(2000)*2147483.648).to_i}"
           postdata2 =
           postdata.each {|k,v|
             postdata2.push("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"#{k}\"\r\n\r\n#{v}\r\n")
           }

           files.each_with_index do |f,i|
              content = File.open(f,'rb') { |c| c.read }
              postdata2.push("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file#{i}\"; filename=\"#{File.basename(f)}\"\r\n" +
                "Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\r\n" +
                "Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n" + content + "\r\n")
           end

           postdata = postdata2.collect { |p|
                 "--" + boundary + "\r\n" + p
           }.join('') + "--" + boundary + "--\r\n"

           np = Net::HTTP::Proxy(@proxy_host,@proxy_port,@proxy_user,@proxy_pass).new(GM_LNK_HOST, 80)
           response = nil
           np.start { |http|
             response = http.post(GM_LNK_GMAIL, postdata,{'Cookie' => @cookie_str,'User-agent' => GM_USER_AGENT,'Content-type' => 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + boundary } )
           }

If you want full source, try gem install gmailer
