Subject: Re: HTTP::Post - HTTP::Get (Can someone help me?)

Thanx Darren for the info

What i want to do:

Interact with a site and change behaviour without going to the site itself.

I have to do 2 steps.


def connect
	uri = URI.parse(BASE_ADDRESS)
	HTTP.version_1_1
	@http = HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port)
end

1. The first one succeed with

connect
req = HTTP::Post.new("...")
add_headers req, "......"
res = @http.request(req)
puts res.body
@http.finish

When i look into res.body i see that the first step is good.

2. Now the second step is to simulate a POST (submit button) from the 
first step.

req = HTTP::Post.new("....")
add_headers req, "...."
connect
res = @http.request(req)
puts res.body
@http.finish

When i look into res.body i see nothing.
I also tried the connect before the req in the second step but it 
changed nothing.

The second step has to change the first step ( activate the submit 
button) but it doesn't work.

I hope you understand it a little bit.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks
