Module: Net::HTTPHeader
Overview
The HTTPHeader module defines methods for reading and writing HTTP
headers.
It is used as a mixin by other classes, to provide hash-like access to HTTP
header values. Unlike raw hash access, HTTPHeader
provides access via case-insensitive keys. It also provides methods for accessing commonly-used HTTP
header values in more convenient formats.

#set_form(params, enctype = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', formopt = {})
Set an HTML form data set.
params
-
The form data to set, which should be an enumerable. See below for more details.
enctype
-
The content type to use to encode the form submission, which should be application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data.
formopt
-
An options hash, supporting the following options:
- :boundary
-
The boundary of the multipart message. If not given, a random boundary will be used.
- :charset
-
The charset of the form submission. All field names and values of non-file fields should be encoded with this charset.
Each item of params should respond to #each and yield 2-3 arguments, or an array of 2-3 elements. The arguments yielded should be:
* The name of the field.
* The value of the field, it should be a String or a File or IO-like.
* An hash, supporting the following , only
used for file uploads:
:filename :: The name of the file to use.
:content_type :: The content type of the uploaded file.
Each item is a file field or a normal field. If value
is a File object or the opt
hash has a :filename
key, the item is treated as a file field.
If Transfer-Encoding is set as chunked, this sends the request using chunked encoding. Because chunked encoding is HTTP/1.1 feature, you should confirm that the server supports HTTP/1.1 before using chunked encoding.
Example:
req.set_form([["q", "ruby"], ["lang", "en"]])
req.set_form({"f"=>File.open('/path/to/filename')},
"multipart/form-data",
charset: "UTF-8",
)
req.set_form([["f",
File.open('/path/to/filename.bar'),
{filename: "other-filename.foo"}
]],
"multipart/form-data",
)
