Send POST request to external server

How can I send a post request to an external server from my app controller?

I tried with this but didn’t work:

require “uri”

require “net/http”

params = {“box1” => “Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor. -Emily Post”,

“button1” => “Submit”}

x = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(“http://localhost:3000”),params)

puts x.body

Thanks in advance!

Douglas,

I dont know what error occurs, but how'bout this code?

require "uri" require "net/http"

params = {"box1" => "Nothing is less important than which fork you use. Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor. -Emily Post", "button1" => "Submit"}

Net::HTTP.start('http://localhost:3000', 80) {|http| response = http.post('/', params) puts response.body }

Hope this would work well.
