This code is so atypically verbose for ruby so I can never remember it. Even still, I use it all the time.

def query url, post
  uri = URI.parse url
  http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
  http.use_ssl = true

  # Don't leave this as verify_none outside of testing/tinkering
  http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

  request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.request_uri);
  request.set_form_data post

  http.request(request)
end

Net::HTTP post with ssl
