On Rails 2.3.4 ... I have a client app that is posting a create to an ActiveResource (actually a HyperActiveResource) in a server app. The ActiveResource class is named ResourceObserver with attributes of resource_name and resource_id. In development and testing environments the parameters of the request received by the server are formed as I would expect; params [:resource_observer][: resource_name] and params[:resource_observer][: resource_id]. In the log the [POST] entry looks like Parameters: {"resource_observer"=>{"resource_id"=>11, "resource_name"=>"User", "event_type"=>:create}, "format"=>"xml", "action"=>"create", "controller"=>"resource_observers"} But in production, params[:resource_observer] is nil. In the log the [POST] entry looks like Parameters: {"format"=>"xml", "action"=>"create", "controller"=>"resource_observers"} I realize that HyperActiveResource may be the culprit, but I have traced the client side request right to the http.send in ActiveResource::Connection and all seems to be properly formed. Is there a simple way to verify that the output from the client is properly formed (i.e., can I easily review the http request from the client side of the pipe before it is received by the server) I should note that the to_xml of the ActiveResource on the client results in xml that has UTF-8 encoding specified. I''ve had to patch ActiveResource::Base#save_with_validation to address a bug in that code related to UTF-8 showing up in the Content-Type of the header. save_with_validation has a case statement on error.response[''Content- Type''] that on tests for equality to application/xml or application/ json but error.response[''Content-Type''] has UTF-8 appended if present in the xml. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
