post_form not posting to full url

[Pat Goebel]

I am using Net::HTTP.post_form to post this form information:
{ "form_action" => "pet.do_fight", "mcid" => "9", "level" => "30",
"type" => "fightmonster" }
to this url:
http://neo2.hotornot.com/facebook/p...9599141dd3a1f4b81f46fc52ffb2&cpid=560252&msg=
and while it should be posting to this url when I used a packet sniffer
(because it was not working) it showed me that it was posting only to
this url:
http://neo2.hotornot.com/facebook/pet/
it gives me a 404:
<style>
msg404 {
font-family:Arial,sans-serif;
font-size:24px;
text-align:center;
}
</style>
<div class="msg404">Sorry! This page cannot be found</div>
as well as giving me:
#<Net::HTTPNotFound:0x2b65600>
...what am i doing wrong:
-------------------
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
spooform = { "form_action" => "pet.do_fight", "mcid" => "9", "level" =>
"30", "type" => "fightmonster" }
fightit =
"http://neo2.hotornot.com/facebook/p...9599141dd3a1f4b81f46fc52ffb2&cpid=560252&msg="
responce = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(fightit),spooform)
puts responce

responce = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(fightit),spooform)
puts responce

this source for post_form (copied from ruby-doc.org):

def HTTP.post_form(url, params)
req = Post.new(url.path)
req.form_data = params
req.basic_auth url.user, url.password if url.user
new(url.host, url.port).start {|http|
http.request(req)
}
end

You can see that it doesn't send Uri#query.

Try either joining the GET parameters with POST ones, and send them
all as POST params, or use Http#post and specify the path and query
string.

uri = URI.parse('http://...')
i.e. Http.open(uri.host) do |http|
response = http.post(uri.path + '?' + uri.query, <uri-encoded
spooform data as string>)
end

you'd need to find out how to encode the form data.

Disclaimer: It's 1AM here, I have not tested anything, so take these
as ideas to investigate...
