Hi all
I''m having trouble finding info on how to tranfser data between 2 rest
appliations. I will try to scetch my problem as simple as possible. I
store data in my first application. In my first application, users need
to login to gain access. The users login with a login form:
# my session controller that handles the authentication
def create
logged_in_user = User.find_by_email_and_password(email, password)
# Create the session and redirect
unless logged_in_user.blank?
session[:user] = logged_in_user
if session[:user].landingspage
redirect_to(session[:user].landingspage)
else
redirect_to(outgoing_invoices_path)
end
else
redirect_to(''/login'')
flash[:error] = ''Invalid username/password combination''
end
end
Every controller gets checked if the user is still logged in:
before_filter :ensure_login
def ensure_login
unless session[:user]
flash[:error] = "Please login to continue"
redirect_to("/login")
end
end
Once I log in with my browser, I can retrieve all the info in any format
I want (html, xml, json, ...)
Now I have my second application where I want to retrieve data in xml
format from my first application.
No my first obstical is how to pass the login. With every request I will
need to send the login info becouse I don''t think the login will be
persistant. I have read info on basic http but I can''t seem to
integrate
the info in the ensure_login action.
Also, with the login request, I will need to send the request to the
controller/action of what data I need with search parameters. But how do
I sent the login/data request from my second application to my first? I
have found some examples like:
require ''net/http''
Net::HTTP.start(''localhost'', 3000) do |http|
response = http.get(''/people'', ''Accept''
=> ''text/xml'')
#Do something with the response.
@code = response.code
@message = response.message
@body = response.body
end
In the above example, I try to get xml data from the people object in
xml format. But how do I send my login info and my search parameters?
Any info would be great, becouse I can''t seem to find any consistant
info on this.
Thank you in advance

Your login system should provide a way to authenticate using HTTP basic authentication - most authentication plugins do so i.e. restful_authentication. If you''re not using any plugin, check http://railscasts.com/episodes/82 to see how to set it up. Instead of using plain Net::HTTP, you can use ActiveResource (http:// api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveResource/Base.html) or REST Client (http://rest-client.heroku.com/rdoc/).

I''m usering ActiveResource right now, but I have a problem when I do a find of my activeresource model.When I do: Task.find(:all, :params => { :company_id => 78 }) the parameter company_id doesn''t seem to get send. When I want to retrieve the parameter with params[:company_id] I get a blank result instead of 78 :s -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
