def HTTP.post_form(url, params)
req = Post.new(url)
req.form_data = params

Posts data to a host; returns a Net::HTTPResponse object.
Argument url must be a URI; argument data must be a hash:
Example
_uri = uri.dup _uri.path = '/posts' data = {title: 'foo', body: 'bar', userId: 1} res = Net::HTTP.post_form(_uri, data) # => #<Net::HTTPCreated 201 Created readbody=true> puts res.body
Output:
Example
{
"title": "foo",
"body": "bar",
"userId": "1",
"id": 101
}
