Trouble with Net::HTTP.post_form

rubyonrails-talk

Hello,

I am trying to debug a problem where an action submits a form unsuccessfully. The code I'm looking at looks just like the code on Ruby-Doc for post_form:

url = "https://some.url.com" res = Net::HTTP.post_form(   URI.parse(url),   {     'formid' => formid,     'Contact0FirstName' => first_name,     'Contact0LastName' => last_name,     'Contact0Phone1' => phone,     'Contact0Email' => email,     'type' => type   } )

However, post_form is throwing the exception: wrong status line: "\025\003\001\000\002\002". Can anyone shed some light on what this error message means? Thanks!

Perhaps you've required net/http instead of net/https.

Didn't make a difference. I tried posting with the Mechanize gem and it works though, so whatever Mechanize is doing under the covers for a post is better than what I was doing.
