I've re-written the whole thing using the rest_client ruby gem, and
essentially the same results, but I get more info out of what's going on:

# ./resttest2.rb

Is it permissible to POST to the REST interface using content type
application/x-www-form-urlencoded?  It would seem that the RT CLI does
something else but its difficult for me to figure out what.

Should I be asking about this on rt-devel instead?
