Post to a remote page

Hi all,

I am sorry if this question has already been replied here,
but I did not 
manage to find an answer.

I am looking for a way to post data to a remote web page. I
don't want 
to use hidden fields and a submit button, I would just like
some ruby 
code that would post parametres to a web page and store the
web page 
that the remote server sends back.

I am not sure that I have been clear, so, here is an
example.

I have a simple page on a php server B that contains the
code

print ($_POST['var1']+$_POST['var1']);

And I have my ruby server A, and what I would like to do is
post var1 
and var2 to server B and store the answer (A+B) that server
B gives me 
back.

Is it possible to do such a thing?

I hope that someone will be able to help me!

Thank you very much!

Are you bound to POST?  You could use a REST-like approach
and hit the
remote page with GET requests via net/http and parse the
response.

You can use Net::HTTP to do an HTTP transfer inside of one
of your 
scripts, and then save the result. I've never done it, but
honestly, it 
shouldn't be hard. Check 
http
://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_network.html for the
API.
