process request and redirect to another url with all params
I am trying to do the following:
process a request containing form data. Once I my app has successfully
completed its processing, I would like to redirect_to a totally
different site and pass along the parameters that came in with the
original request.
This is how I am currently handling it in the controller:
[code=]def create
@subscription = Subscription.new(params[:subscription])
@subscription.user_id = current_user.id
@subscription.subscribe
respond_to do |format|
if @subscription.save
parms2 = params
format.html {redirect_to
"http://www.someothersite.com/process",parms2}
else
#handle the problem
end
end
end[/code]
Everything up to the redirect is happening correctly. Then I am
redirected to www.someothersite.com but it is behaving as though the
parms2 are missing. I am new to Ruby and Rails and am probably missing
something very easy here.
Thanks in advance.

Re: process request and redirect to another url with all params
The key issue here is that this will need to be send as a POST request, whereas I assume the default of redirect_to is GET. You will have to put the params onto to the end of the url string yourself, eg. param1=this¶m2=16¶m3=that -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
