Brian, I cannot post my example as it is currently posting to an 
internal endpoint at work.
The following code  sample (changed slightly) from 
http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/788 is the same as I am using. If 
you look at the HTTP response it has the following two objects - resp, 
responsedata.
resp represents the HTTP Response class and responsedata represents the 
body


require 'net/https'

http = Net::HTTP.new('profil.wp.pl', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

path = '/login.html'

data = 
'serwis=wp.pl&url=profil.html&tryLogin=1&countTest=1&logowaniessl=1&login_username=blah&login_password=blah'
headers = {
  'Referer' => 'http://profil.wp.pl/login.html',
  'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

resp, responsedata = http.post(path, data, headers)

puts 'Code = ' + resp.code
puts
puts 'Message = ' + resp.message
puts
puts 'Response data = ' + responsedata
