Rails - Mar 2007 - using ruby to submit an http form - either im confused ...

Hi All:

I have a rails application (we''ll call it
''FrontApp'')that is using REST
routes. I have tested this with curl and its behaves as expected.

I also have a second independent rails application on the same server.
Also using REST routes. (we''ll call this app
''BackApp'').

I want to beable to call and submit a form in BackApp from FrontApp and
I think im going about it the wrong way. Should I be using web service
apis on BackApp and simply invoking the service calls from FrontApp or
can i (and it is good design) to try and post the form in BackApp from
FrontApp?

Below is a snippet of a test script ive been using to attempt to post
the above mentioned form in BackApp using ruby. All i get back is the
details of the form but the event (an email sent) is not occurring as if
i were submitting the form in the BackApp application.

Net::HTTP.new(''backapp.mydomain.com'', 80).start do |http|

test_email_req =
Net::HTTP::Post.new(''/notification/email_request'')
test_email_lic_req.set_form_data(''email_request[email_request]''=>''me-WB98PguNJMdBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org'')
test_email_req.add_field ''Accept'',
''application/xml''

response = http.request(test_email_req)

  case response
  when Net::HTTPSuccess
    puts "Code: #{response.code}"
    puts "Message: #{response.message}"
    puts "Body:\n #{response.body}"
  else
    # Throw exception
    response.error!
  end
end

any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Ryan
