Re: How come this doesn't work?

Hey You schrieb:

It just pretty much does the first request which is the post but then
when I tell it to get the other page it doesn't do anything. I made this
code a few seconds ago so I am searching for the answer and I am reading
RFC2616.

Just a few suggestions:

1. Put POSTed form variables in the request body.

2. Specify the correct Content-Type for it (application/x-www-form-urlencoded).

3. Use the "Connection: Keep-Alive" header to be able to do multiple HTTP-Requests on the same connection. (And check whether the server supports this)

4. Supply a correct Content-Length header, so the server knows where the next request starts.

5. Have a look at Net::HTTP instead of doing it manually.

6. Don't post your username and password to a public newsgroup.
