No.  This line:

resp = http.post(url.path, data, headers)

tells ruby to send a *post* request.  POST requests do not include data 
in the query string--they put the data in the body of the request.  The 
data still has to be in an agreed upon format, though, otherwise the 
other side won't know how to split it up to make sense of the data.
