Rails - Jun 2006 - using :post => ''true'' still makes a GET request

Hi,

In my link_to''s, i''m adding the additional parameter :post
=> ''true''
whenever I expect to change database state on the server.  Problem is, when
I look at the incoming requests, I see that they are all coming in as GET
requests instead of POST requests.  Also, the link adds post=true as a name
value parameter in the URL as it would with GET requests.  I have javascript
enabled in my browser.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Pass :post => true in the second hash argument:

   link_to ''here'', { :action => ''here'',
:id => 1 }, { :post => true }
   link_to ''here'', here_url(:id => 1), :post => true

Also, realize that, on clients with Javascript disabled, these links 
will still use GET.  So be sure to use something like


   if request.post?
      do_my_business
   end

in your controller method.
