libapreq and form parsing

Further to this, I'll just post the issue I'm having here, and perhaps
someone will have a hint.

When I submit a form request to a mod-ruby script using Firefox,
libapreq seems to parse it just fine, the parameters show up
in Apache.request.paramtable and can also be retrieved with
Apache.request.param(). However, when I submit the form using my
test-httpweb testing framework (available from rubyforge), which uses
Net::HTTP for the actual posting, libapreq does not seem to be able to
parse the form. The request submitted by test-httpweb seems to have all
the correct headers and so on. I've appended copies of the working and
non-working requests; can anyone tell me what might be wrong?
