Thanks Fred I'm not having any luck with it so far - this is the curl call i was making (with some changes to protect the innocent):
curl http://www.l-mail.biz/scripts/lia/lia.php \ -d l_cid='1106' \ -d l_key='cg3608898b74a4c688787ab479b8bb9f' \ -d l_content='http://ir.chazanga.com/letter/show?encoded=MTE4MiZpdCdzIHdlZG5lc2RheQ==' \ -d l_pb_url='http://ir.chazanga.com/letter/confirm' \ -d l_sname='chazanga' \ -d l_rname='Max Williams' \ -d l_rcname='chazanga' \ -d l_raddress1='Suites 17 & 18' \ -d l_raddress2='9-12 Middle Street' \ -d l_rcity='Brighton' \ -d l_rpostcode='BN1 3TN' \ -d l_rcountry='3' \ -d l_email='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' \ -d l_fb_emails='1' \ -d p_user_id='2054' So, when i tried to use Net::HTTP i was trying to deal with this massive params string. I split it up like so: domain = "www.l-mail.biz" path = "/scripts/lia/lia.php" params = "l_cid=1106&l_key=cg3608898b74a4c688787ab479b8bb9f&l_content=http://ir.chazanga.com/letter/show?encoded=MTE4MiZpdCdzIHdlZG5lc2RheQ==&l_pb_url=http://ir.chazanga.com/letter/confirm&l_sname=chazanga&l_rname=Max-Williams&l_rcname=chazanga&l_raddress1=Suites-17-18&l_raddress2=9-12-Middle-Street&l_rcity=Brighton&l_rpostcode=BN1-3TN&l_rcountry=3&[EMAIL PROTECTED]&l_fb_emails=1&p_user_id=2054" The params string had spaces and & signs in it, so i just replaced them with safe characters temporarily while i played with Net::HTTP (with escaping them properly down for a later task). I tried this: http = Net::HTTP.new("#{domain}") headers, body = http.get("#{path}?#{params}") and got a 401 (Authorisation required) error back. I think maybe my params weren't going through properly. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
