Dear all,

I'm a newbie and have been looking for a solution regarding the
following issue:
I'm trying to get the results from the page
http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/daftarbi.asp and looking at the source of the
page I have the following information:

<form method="post" name="def" action="daftarbi.asp">
.
.
.
<INPUT name="txtIC" maxlength="12"><Input type=hidden name="txtSub">
.
.
</form>
There is no query string such as ...asp?id=blabla&something=blabla, so I
need to simply pass the value I wish to post such as "0000059" into that
hidden field and get the results?
Is this possible? I have tried a simple code and it didn't work:

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
res = Net::HTTP.post_form
URI.parse('http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/daftarbi.asp'),{"txtSub" =>
"0000059"}
case res
when Net::HTTPSuccess, Net::HTTPRedirection
  puts res.body
else
  res.error!
end

Kindly correct me If I'm wrong

Appreciate any help

regards
