When I use pp on an object in rails, it prints out a nice string representation of the object. I am trying to pass objects from one server to another and I am wondering if I can just pass this string and create an object on the other server. Any libraries/functions out there that can do this? Or any other way to do this (not necessarily using pp). Thanks! -- Posted via

I''m looking at the documentation: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html And I notice two uses of Net::HTTP. Both are using GET requests. But what''s the difference? When to use which? Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) do |http| request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri response = http.request request # Net::HTTPResponse object end uri =

What''s a good solution for fixing character encoding problems for compatibility between ascii and utf-8? The database is postgres and is encoded in utf-8. Once in awhile there will be a compatibility error from strings from a webform. Is there a command to fix this besides using a_string.force_encoding(''utf-8'')? Even this doesn''t seem to always work either.

During one of my controller actions I want to call an external machine before I do anything. It''s not a real web service, more like a REST-style thing where I''ll just be tweaking a servlet running on another machine and sending it some data. Does Rails give me anything to work with for doing that? I read the web service stuff but it''s overkill for what I need. I

Hello people, I''m implementing a geocoding feature in my web app, a classic feature, for showing registered user by location. For this purpose, I''ve inspired myself from the following tutorial : http://earthcode.com/blog/2006/04/rails_geocoding_and_google_map.html However, I''m getting this error from Rails : uninitialized constant SandboxController::XMLRPC Being a

URI.escape() is supposed to be able to take a second parameter listing unsafe characters in the URI. This may be a regexp or string. If a string, it''s supposed to represent a character set listing all unsafe characters. An example given in the core documentation at: http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/uri/rdoc/classes/URI/Escape.html#M008992 ...is: p URI.escape("@?@!",

Two questions from a PHP guy thinking of moving to Rails: 1. Does Rails have equivalents for PHP''s FTP functions (www.php.net/ftp)? 2. What about image editing functions similar to PHP''s GD2 functions? (I would basically want to be able to crop, rotate, draw lines, add text...) I searched online for the above but I got somewhat conflicting info about image editing and

Hi, As a long time Java/J2EE exponent I wanted to give Rails a fair crack of the whip and after we evaluated it for several weeks I have to say I like it. The installation process for the base system/framework is straightforward on the two platforms we''ve tried (Windows and Mac OS X). However, the charting components available, relying on ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick seem less clear

Hello, Is there a common way of stripping html tags from a string? Right now I''m just calling gsub!(/<.*?>/, ''''), but with a background in PHP and always having used its strip_tags() method, I wonder if the Rails community has standardized this fairly common task with something a bit less simpleminded than my quick fix.

These HTTP Request methods are used for testing. They are discussed in the testing chapter of the Agile Web Development with Rails book, as well as in http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/28#page72 "A Guide to Testing the Rails".

Hello :) I have a problem with the Net::HTTP library... The Net::HTTP library [1] uses a Net::HTTPResponse object for all it''s responses from web servers. This class has many subclasses, such as HTTPSuccess, HTTPRedirecttion, etc. When obtaining a response, the library suggests to check what it is by testing the class of the returned object - using case/when or kind_of?
