Method: Bio::Command.post_form

Defined in:
lib/bio/command.rb

.post_form(uri, params = nil, header = {}) ⇒ Object

Same as: Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, 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) uri: URI object or String

  • (optional) params: Hash containing parameters

  • (optional) header: Hash containing header strings

Returns

(same as Net::HTTP::post_form)
