Those very docs say "And if you need to go beyond these, you can
always break out Ruby's OpenURI class."... Does shoes hack open-uri to
go via download, or is this some strange cyclical thing where the docs
are advising that if download doesn't work we should be using
Net::HTTP in a round about way?

I would stay away from Net::HTTP when using Shoes. It's a blocking
operation. Your whole app will stop until the request is done.
Use the `download` method, which can do HTTP in the background
and uses platform-specific code to work much, much faster.
Shoes.app do
download "http://localhost:8080";, :method => "POST",
:body => "userName=user&password=11111" do |dl|
para dl.response.body
end
end
You can read more in the Shoes manual.
