POST json data and custom headers

I have the following ruby code that I'm trying to implement in the same way that this curl works.

curl -X POST \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: $APP_ID" \
  -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: $KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"score": 1337, "playerName": "Sean Plott", "cheatMode": false }' \
  https://api.parse.com/1/classes/GameScore

Here's the ruby code:

def execute_post
  puts "executing post script.."
  payload ={
    "score" => "1337",
    "playerName" => "Sean Plott", 
    "cheatMode" => "false"

  }.to_json
  headers = {
    'X-Parse-Application-Id' => $APP_ID, 
    'X-Parse-REST-API-KEY' => $KEY,
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json'
  }
  url = "https://" + $DOMAIN + $BASE_URL + $LIST_CLASS
  uri = URI.parse(url)
  puts uri
  puts payload

  puts "***************"
  req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.host, initheader = headers)
  req.body = payload
  response = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port).start{|http| http.request(req)}

  puts "Response #{response.code} #{response.message}: #{response.body}"

end

For some reason I'm getting an error. Any ideas on what's going wrong?

In your curl example, you are using HTTPS.

You need to specifically enable HTTPS when using Net::HTTP (it's not enough to just put https:// in your URL).

http =  Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
response = http.start{|http| http.request(req)}

try it like this:

require 'mechanize'
Mechanize.new.post url, data.to_json, headers

if that doesn't work run fiddler and try it like this:

Mechanize.new{|a| a.set_proxy 'localhost', 8888}.post url, data.to_json, headers

Then inspect the request in fiddler
