Hi-
I have a rails app where a form gets submitted, and that data from the
form has to be validated. It''s a widget app, so other sites will use
the validation routine, but I also want to use it myself, from the
same server that does the validation. So, is it possible for a ruby
instance to send a post to the same server? I try this in development
but it freezes up and I eventually get a timeout error. The code
looks like this:
def verify_home
@response = "An error has occurred."
if params[:widget_id] and params[:widget_answer]
result = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(''http://localhost:3000/
questions/verify''),
{''widget_id'' => params[:widget_id],
''widget_answer'' =>
params[:widget_answer])
if result.include? "success"
@response = "Correct!"
end
end
redirect_to :action => "index"
end
So, the "questions/verify" method works just fine on its own (when
submitted from a different site), but freezes up when I send it from
the current server to itself.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Dino

Webrick is single threaded and won''t handle multiple requests at the same time. Try running it with mongrel or something else that can handle multiple requests at the same time. There''s no reason you can''t do what you''re trying to do. Although, if you''re verifying against yourself it will be a lot faster to call the ruby method/routine that does it instead of posting back to yourself. Net::HTTP is slow. -philip -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
