1) In that code get_string is undefined.
2) In that code there are no require statements requiring the necessary 
libraries.

See if you can get this to work:

require 'net/http'
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

url = URI.parse('https://www.some_host.com/some_path_to/page.htm')

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host)
http.use_ssl = true

data = "a=1&b=2&c=3"

headers = {
  'Cookie' => cookie,
  'Referer' => 'http://profil.wp.pl/login.html',
  'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

resp = http.post(url.path, data, headers)
puts resp.body
