Subject: Multiple Parameters with Net:Http

Is there a way to pass in 2 parameters with the same name to the
Net::Http client in ruby?
It's using a map right now, and it only stores one of the values.
Is this a bug in the Http client implementation?
The http spec allows you to pass in multiple parameters with the same
name.


def get_data(data, in_only='Y')
    one = Time.new
    url = URI.parse('http://127.0.0.1/ec/data.xml')
    req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
    req.basic_auth 'user', 'pass'
    req.set_form_data({'test'=>1, 'test'=>2})
    res = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port).start {|http|
http.request(req) }
    case res
    when Net::HTTPSuccess, Net::HTTPRedirection
      xml = res.body
    else
      res.error!
    end
end
