I am trying to add a controller method that will take an XML post with
a schema not related to an existing model and parse it as a hash of
parameters. I create apis_controller.rb:
class ApisController < ApplicationController
def create
puts "**** API INVOKED ****"
puts params[:name]
end
end
Then...
curl --data-urlencode "<name>Foo</name>" -H
"Content-Type:application/
xml" http://localhost:3000/apis.xml
I get the following error:
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
undefined method `name'' for nil:NilClass
Is there a way for "puts params[:name]" to display "Foo"
upon
receiving the XML post?
Thanks in advance!
Mark

Hello, Your parameters are not seen as xml content. You should put your xml content on a file an send it with : curl -d @file_to_send ... In this case you will automatically get your xml as a map on the params map.

Thank you so much, Mickael. This is indeed what I was missing. Much appreciated.
