ssl encryption with post_form()

[Robbie Mckennie]

im writing a program that needs to post a form, and iv found that i can
do this with post_form(), but i need to send it over a connection with
ssl encryption. heres my code

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
res = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse('http://the/url'),
{
'my test' => 'variables'
}
)
puts res.body

and that works, but without ssl. i wanted somthing like this

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
res = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse('http://the/url'),
{
'my test' => 'variables'
}
)
res.ssl = true
puts res.body

but i havnt found anything. hope i have been clear

Did you try googling for "ruby https post"? The first few results will
have some answers.

Without quotes, I get this as the first result:

With quotes, I get this as the first result:

Note how both include things like:

require 'net/https'

and

http = Net::HTTP.new('host.tld', 443)
http.use_ssl = true
