Subject: [ruby-talk:29291] Re: HTTP POST

When I use

    resp = http.post2(PING_SERVER_URL + "?" + data, nil, nil)

which is the "mystery code" that works, that is the only time I get data.
Notice that I am using POST but tagging the "?a=b&c=d" on to the end of the
URL. Here is what was sent:

    POST /PingServer/Ping?PingRequestXML=[snip]&action=[snip] HTTP/1.1
    Host: localhost

Here is what I receive (the correct results):

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
