Thanks again for clarification

This is also what i'm doing. I didn't explain it very well.
In the first step i'm simulating the submit button like you explained 
it. In my resp.body after the first step, i can see that it succeeded.
But my problem is in the second step, i want to simulate again a submit 
button from the first step, this is not working and i don't know what 
i'm doing wrong.

First step:

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

Second step:

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