unable to get the XML response using 'Get' request through 'Ruby' language

Question

I am not able to get the xml response after triggering 'GET' request using Ruby language.My Current Code is as follows:

require 'net/https'
require 'uri'
require 'base64'

base_url = '<URL>'
app_guid = '<App GUID Value>'
format = "xml"

# Example using bug.fetch

params = {
  "appGUID" => app_guid,
  "format" => format,
  "method" => "bug.fetch",
  "bugId" => "1234567"
  }

puts "XML Response"

res = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(base_url), params)
puts res.body

Please note that i want to make a 'GET' request through an API to 'HTTPS' server. — user2364821, Jul 01 '13 at 11:10

As Frederick notes, your code is making a POST request. If you want to use GET do:

uri = URI.parse(base_url)
uri.query = URI.encode_www_form(params)
res = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)

If you still encounter errors, you may wish to use this alternative syntax:

uri = URI.parse(base_url)
uri.query = URI.encode_www_form(params)
conn = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
conn.use_ssl = true
res = conn.get uri.request_uri
