make a http request with a custom body as text in ruby

To make an HTTP request with a custom body as text in Ruby, we can use the Net::HTTP library. Here's an example:

main.rb
require 'net/http'

uri = URI('http://example.com/api')
body = 'This is the body of the request.'

response = Net::HTTP.post(uri, body, {'Content-Type' => 'text/plain'})

puts response.body
190 chars
9 lines

In this example, we're making a POST request to http://example.com/api with the body of the request set to 'This is the body of the request.' and the Content-Type header set to text/plain. We're then printing out the response body to the console.

You can modify this example to use different HTTP methods (GET, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and different content types as needed.
