Hi,

different port should not be a prolem. I think your problem is that
you are trying to use POST method (HTTP.post_form) while what you
really want is GET (at least your first example implies that).

So try

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

uri = URI.parse('http://192.168.10.204:13013/cgi-bin/sendsms')
uri.set_query( 'user'=>'tester', 'pass'=>'foobar', 'from'=>'444',
'to'=>'44440295', 'smsc'=>'mysmsc', 'text'=>'Test from ruby!')

res = Net::HTTP.get(uri),
puts res.body

I have not tested this, so maybe you'll need to fix this.
