just give the post method a block.  for instance, although google doesn't
allow posting to this url

   harp:~ > cat a.rb
   require 'net/http'

   Net::HTTP.start 'fortytwo.merseine.nu', 80  do |http|
     http.post '/form.cgi', 'k=v&a=42' do |chunk|
       puts chunk
     end
   end


   harp:~ > ruby a.rb
   ---
   k:
   - v
   a:
   - "42"


-a
