(Not sure that 'data' is set correctly above...)

You'll want to pass HTTP.new an address, not a URL:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/index.html

Something like:
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'
url = "https://127.0.0.1:7891/path/to/xml_interface"
uri = URI.parse(url)
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true if (uri.scheme == 'https')
data = "foo"
headers = {'Content-Type' => 'text/xml'}
# warning, uri.path will drop queries, use uri.path + uri.query if you need to
resp, body = nex.post(uri.path, data, headers)


HTH,
