Ruby Net :: HTTP - stop auto escaping of quotes?

Question

I have the following code:

    http = Net::HTTP.new("www.something.com", 80)
    http.set_debug_output($stdout)
    http.post("/blah", "something", {'random-parameter' => 'value1="something",value2="somethingelse"'})

Then, when I read the output from stdout, it looks like this:

<- "POST /blah HTTP/1.1\r\nAccept: */*\r\nContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\nConnection: close\r\nrandom-parameter: value1=\"something\",value2=\"somethingelse\"\r\nContent-Length: 9\r\nHost: www.something.com\r\n\r\n"
<- "something"

the quotes will be escaped. The problem is that slashes seem to be sent to the server, which is not like it. I get an error

Unknown value for random-parameter in header: {value1=\\\"something\\\"value2=\\\"somethingelse\\\"}

So my question is: is there a way to tell Net :: HTTP not to insert these slashes or to cut them out before sending the header?

Explanations:

I am using Ruby 1.8.7 with Rails 2.0.2.

I think it might be Rails that eludes characters, but I'm not sure how to stop it.
