Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Here's what I'm trying:

nex = Net::HTTP.new("https://127.0.0.1", port)
nex.use_ssl = true
path = '/path/to/xml_interface/'
headers = {'Content-Type' => 'text/xml'}
resp, data = nex.post(path, data, headers)

I get this error:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `initialize': getaddrinfo: Name or 
service not known (SocketError)
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `open'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `connect'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:48:in `timeout'

	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:1032:in `request'
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:842:in `post'

The code works up until the actual post attempt. Any ideas?
