Hmm. I've heard that Tomcat always requires Content-Type.
Try this:

    Net::HTTP.start(HOST, PORT) {|http|
        res = http.post(PATH, 'Content-Type' => 'x-www-form-urlencoded')
        p res.body
    }

FYI:
In 1.7, net/http automatically set Content-Type to x-www-form-urlencoded.
I'll also backport it to 1.6 soon.
