Todd, I'm trying to use curb to post data to a REST url. We're using it to post support questions from our iphone app directly to tender. The post looks good to me, but curl is not adding the content-length header so I get a 411 length required response from the server.

Here's my post block, do you see anything obvious? Do I need to manually add the Content-Length header?

c = Curl::Easy.http_post(url) do |curl|
  curl.headers["User-Agent"] = "Curl/Ruby"
  if user
    curl.headers["X-Multipass"] = user.multipass
  else
    curl.headers["X-Tender-Auth"] = TOKEN
  end
  curl.headers["Accept"] = "application/vnd.tender-v1+json"

  curl.post_body = params.map{|f,k| "#{curl.escape(f)}=#{curl.escape(k)}"}.join('&')

  curl.verbose = true
  curl.follow_location = true
  curl.enable_cookies = true
end
Any insight you care to share would be helpful. Thanks.
