WEBrick & forms using post

ruby-talk
1

Im trying to write a webrick servlet to process a html form.
Im using the post method to send, NOT get (in the html form).
I have require 'cgi' in my servlet.
But I keep getting:

Method not allowed
unsupported method 'post'

Any ways to get around this or am I doing something wrong?

A WEBrick servlet is not a CGI, so, doing require 'cgi' is just a
gratuitous exercise, unless you want to use some of cgi's convenience
methods like CGI::escape, unescape, parse, etc.

A servlet accepts method POST if it has a method do_POST(request,
response):

E.g.:

class FooServlet < HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet
  def do_POST(req, resp)
    resp['content-type'] = 'text/plain'
    resp.body << "You posted the following content:\n"
    resp.body << req.body
  end
end
