Method: Bio::Command.http_post_form

Defined in:

lib/bio/command.rb

.http_post_form(http, path, params = nil, header = {}) ⇒ Object

Same as:

http = Net::HTTP.new(...); http.post_form(path, params)

and it uses proxy if an environment variable (same as OpenURI.open_uri) is set. In addition, header can be set. (Note that Content-Type and Content-Length are automatically set by default.) uri must be a URI object, params must be a hash, and header must be a hash.

---

Arguments:

• (required) http: Net::HTTP object or compatible object

• (required) path: String

• (optional) params: Hash containing parameters

• (optional) header: Hash containing header strings

Returns

(same as Net::HTTP::post_form)
