Rails - Nov 2007 - Rails and REST

Hello,

I was wondering how do I use the respond_to xml ?

class PeopleController < ApplicationController
  def index
     @peope = People.find(:all)
      respond_to do | request |
          request.html { }
          request.xml { render :xml => @people..to_xml(:except => [:id])
}
      end
  end
end

I tried with this and I always get execution timeout?

result = Net::HTTP.get(URI(''http://localhost:3000/people''))
@people = REXML::Document.new(result)

How can I get the my index to response with XML?

Thanks for any help :)

The couple of dots is a typo.

If you have declared

   map.resources :people

then you can specify the desired "xml" format this way:

   http://localhost:3000/people.xml

Are you doing this from the same rails app? in dev mode you typically  
only have 1 mongrel, if 1 is busy executing the above code that leaves  
no one to handle the request you;re making.

On top of that you need to tell it you want xml. You can either do  
this by setting the Accept header or by saying you want people.xml  
(assuming you''ve got the standard routes setup)
