Rails - Mar 2008 - Passing an array to a Ruby controller (from AJAX)

I thought I knew how to do this, but it''s not working. I''m
passing an
array of ids to a ruby controller with an HTTPService call.. It''s
getting the call but it''s only using the first value. The url is like
so (GET for clarity)

/league/getopenleagues/dbg_12345?friends=dbg_12346&friends=dbg_12347

In the controller I am grabbing those ids and shoving them into a find
query in a comma seperated list so that I can do a "NOT IN" condition.
I''m probably doing this poorly, but I''m doing it like this:

      friendsList = Array.new
      params[:friends].each do |friend|
        friendsList.push("''"+friend+"''");
      end

and then in the conditions I do:

network_id NOT IN (#{friendsList.join(",")})

First off - is there a better way to do that without the intermediary
steps? And also, why is this not working - it doesn''t think
it''s an
array?

IIRC you need to call your parameter friends[] for rails to treat it
like an array.
