I am doing an http get using the url
http://localhost/add?add_key[0][key]=1234&add_key[0][id]=1.
I have a rails app which gives me a neat params hash
{"add_key"=>{"0"=>{"key"=>"1234",
"id"=>"1"}}.
Now I try to post these to another server, using Net::HTTP.post_form
new_url,params
The second server gets a form hash -
{"add_key"=>"0key1234id1"}.
Looks like post_form requires a string:string hash. How do I unpack
the params hash back to the original parameter syntax - {"add_key[0]
[key]" => "1234", add_key[0][id]" => "1"} ?
I have used CGI.parse which works if the original request is a GET.
But if the parameters are passed in a POST, it doesn''t work.
