Bug #655: Query part lost when using Net::HTTP.post_form function

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: nahi (Hiroshi Nakamura)

• ruby -v: should be the latest at that time

=begin
when posting data by following code:

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

response = Net::HTTP.post_form URI.parse('http://localhost/api.asp?Action=Check'), {'name'=>'value'}
puts response.body

query part ("Action=Check" in this case) are not attached.
server side receive a request /api.asp without query.

problem could be solved by simple change post_form code:
req = Post.new(url.path)
to
req = Post.new(url.request_uri)

i'm not sure it is a bug or i mis-understand, if i do, is there anyway to post form with query, for i need to deal with some Third Part API.

Note that you'll need to decide whether you want to comply with the HTTP spec, or with RFC 3986. See http://lpar.ath0.com/2008/10/26/rfc-3986-considered-harmful/

mathew: Interesting read. Thanks. I decided to not decide and let users choose, by allowing to include query part as a request URI.
