But the docs: http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/classes/Net/HTTP.html#M001227 make no sense to me: they talk about reading stuff, which is in the wrong direction. Maybe examining the source would clarify. Can't find anythng with search engines (except that one says post is to handle incoming post requests on the server), but looking at the code of Mechanize might also be of some use.
