Subject: Adding Post Data to IE.navigate method with Ruby

Hi all,

I'm automating IE with Watir and Ruby and I have a slight problem that
I can't seem to solve. I'd like to pass post data to IE's navigate
method (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752093.aspx)

Seems like the postdata parameter is a byte array so here's what I've
done in ruby to try to pass this data

      bytearray = []
      postdata.each_byte{ |c| bytearray.push(c) }
      @ie.navigate(url, nil, nil, bytearray, "Content-Type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n")

Fiddler seems to always say that the content length is 16 times longer
than the actual length and I'm not sure why. Does anyone know how make
this call work? TIA.
