Hi, this isn't going to work, try instead creating a form with fields for
the things you are getting from "gets" and posting to a url that renders
back the result.

I'd recommend Sinatra for this (or even pure rack), if you need some idea of
how to do this, check out Ruby Kickstart session 6
http://ruby-kickstart.com/#session6 It assumes you've worked through the
previous five sessions, but it will show you how to create a Sinatra
application and host it on the internet (Heroku).
