similar to: Getting JSON from the body of a POST

I''m developing a Rail application to accept data upload using HTTP PUT call. Support for PUT in Rails seems to be broken in query params parsing. I have a patch to fix the problem, but I''m not sure if it is the "right" solution. Can some Rails developers take a quick look? I can really use some help. :-) Here is the evident of broken param parsing. Processing

Hi, I am trying to convert a hash to JSON using ActiveSupports built in .to_json. I am doing similar to the example below but are there certain strings that could go in place of ''bar'' or ''rez'' that will break the to_json method? I am using a very long string from rjs output in place of ''bar''. Perhaps .to_json is not ready yet? Thanks, Peter

I''d really like to see just 2 more functional changes to the JSON serialization/encoding before we get to Rails 2.0. First, and I think this is really crucial because without it all the efforts to output JSON from ActiveRecord objects would have been half in vain, is to allow us to do this in controllers: @authors = Author.find(:all) render :json => @authors.to_json(:only =>

Hi everyone, I''m writing a lightweight AJAX application using Rails on the server side as a RESTful web service provider. I need the web service to support both JSON and XML I/O. Outputting data in XML and JSON is easy (using to_xml and to_json), and it''s also easy to do XML input as Rails does it for you automatically. Is it possible to somehow have the same automatic parsing

Hey there I was scratching my head over why my application breaks when I run on a local server but works on my remote server. It turns out that my local server is Rails 2.0.2 and my remote server is 1.2.3 and I expect the tag "attributes" to be passed with a json stream, before parsing. Unfortunately, this was dropped in 2.0.2. Is there any documentation on this? Any way to get it back?

I got a new 20 inch iMac dual core today and am busy getting it all setup. A couple of issues though: 1. Is the Ruby 1.8.2 install by Apple still botched or has that been fixed? I recall someone had fixed the rbconfig.rb to get it working. Is this something I still have to do? 2. Does anyone know if Locomotive is using the uniersal binaries, or is it targetting PPC yet? I couldn''t

I''ve tried the following line in ruby script/console require ''digest/md5'' Both my Mac (Intel iMac) and my Windows box return "false"... Any ideas what could be wrong? I was trying to do the RoR Recipe on page 54 of Chad Fowler''s new (beta) book. -Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The way Rails handles root nodes in JSON and XML serialization is inconsistent. This has been discussed before: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2584-232-activeresource-json-doesnt-send-parameters-with-root-node This seems mostly taken care of with ActiveModel::Base.include_root_in_json, especially if/when it ends up in ActiveResource. However, there is also the issue of how

I seen some RoR code that went like this: <% if ...blah, blah... -%> .. blah, blah <% end -%> What are the minus signs for in the if statement? Cannot seem to find anything about this, and searching on "-" in this context is hard to get anything meaningfull back. Thanks, - Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I''m working on a Backbone.js single page app with Rails 3.1, and in an attempt to save on HTTP requests, I want to embed initial data set in a HTML document that is sent back to the browser after successful login. I was thinking I can simply convert my ruby object to JSON, then HTML escape resulting string of JSON, and then use that as a value for JavaScript variable. Something

Hi, I recognized that the function 'setReplaceMethod' is creating a character vector in the user workspace having the name (e.g. "newClass") of the class used as value. If you can sort out a mistake by myself, I would like you to file a bug report. BBFN, Jonathan setClass("newClass", representation(value="numeric")) setMethod(f = "initialize",
