Hi, I just wrote an article on how to easily create a REST API for Ruby on Rails applications: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2006/04/19/rest-on-rails.html It describes how to create everything from the ground up and includes information on testing your API too. -- Thanks, Dan Kubb

I''ve noticed in the source code that Mongrel handles the IF_UNMODIFIED_SINCE header. I thought this rather odd, since IF_UNMODIFIED_SINCE is generally only useful with PUT. Even more odd is that there is no mention of IF_MODIFIED_SINCE in Mongrel which is useful with GET (although not as useful as IF_NONE_MATCH of course). Is this a bug in Mongrel? -Tim

Does anyone have an example of using REST and submitting data through a POST operation and then possibly loading that data with activerecord. Also, if you have client code written in another language (java,.net, C), would you have that code as well? Berlin Brown

So, I''m working on adding iCal support to my app. Since I want to restrict users to their own calendars, form-based authentication isn''t going to work, so I''m using the Basic HTTP Authorization from this page - http://blogs.23.nu/c0re/stories/7409/ Everything works fine in my dev machine, but on the server (Site5), I get the login prompt ad infinitum. Has anyone run

Folks: I''ve posted a really basic e-mail address verifier to http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/VerifyEmailAddress I''d appreciate folks who understand DNS and SMTP having a look at it to see if it looks reasonable. You could comment here or, possibly more usefully, comment on the wiki page itself. Thanks Dave

I''m still relatively new to ROR, but I like what I see with the database-neutral approach of Schemas. In the spirit of keeping it simple and minimizing the number of files and location of information, does ActiveState currently allow me to go ahead and place other low level model information such as validation requirements and associations inside the schema rather than putting it in

Hello all After being told of a funky date validator I will ask again for another validator :) Does anyone know of a plugin that validates that a field is the correct syntax for an IP Address? Thanks Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi. I''m using Apache2.2 built from source + mod-proxy + ssl + svn. Everything works fine but I''m sure you I could disable a ton of modules during the build process and in httpd.conf to speed things up and run a tighter memory footprint. Has anyone bothered building Apache2.2 from source disabling all the unneeded modules. I am planning on going through the Apache docs but I

Greetings all, This is the first release of the SuperImage plugin. The idea is you upload images to the database, and then pull them out at any size you want. Combine this with caching and it will stay light and fast. More info and instructions are here: http://beautifulpixel.textdriven.com/articles/2006/04/27/superimage-plugin-making-resizeable-uploaded-images-easy svn:

Reading the Agile book, I can''t find a single command to save a collection. The save command seems to operate on only individual objects. Lets say I have a collection that I have received from a find_all command. I want to go through and change some attributes in various objects in the collection. Then I want to resave the whole collection back to the database. I don''t think

I am trying to understand why Mongrel so forcefully disables http pipelining. The docs say because the spec is unclear, and it hurts performance. These reasons smell... wrong. The HTTP spec is pretty clear, and, er, I cannot find anywhere else that claims there is a performance drawback, and lots of studies (and personal benchmarks across years of writing webapps) showing how much it

If a view file cannot be compiled (eg it has a block with a missing ''end'' statement), I''m experiencing WSODs - the browser reports a lost network connection, rather than the helpful compilation error that we used to have. When the compilation fails, ActionView#compile_template raises this error : TemplateError.new(find_base_path_for(file_name || template), file_name ||

303 (See Other) is the status code a resource returns to tell the client about the new resource it just created (typically after a POST). 301/302 is the status code some servers return to tell the browser where to go next. It works because browsers ignore the distinction and treat all three status codes the same way, and few people understand the difference. But when developing an application

Hi, I''m setting up a site that will bill on a monthly basis. I would rather not have to worry about storing customer credit card information. Does anyone have recommendations on payment processors that offer monthly billing services? I don''t want to go the paypal route as I want the user to stay on the site. I''m hoping to find an API to integrate with. I have

Hello can anyone tell me how to test cookies using rspec? specifically, I''d like to be able to set a cookie before a get/post request and also to test the cookies which have been set by a get/post request I know I can use cookies[:name] = ''value'' to set a cookie but how would I set expiry information on such a cookie? when i try to pass a hash {:value =>

I''m looking to store the current params into a/some cookie(s). This works: @params.each_pair do |this_index, this_param| cookies[this_index] = this_param end Except, I get session-only cookies. This doesn''t work: @params.each_pair do |this_index, this_param| cookies[this_index] = { :value => this_param, :expires => 30.days.from_now } end

Hello Users!, Since the pre-release 0.3.18 (last week) Lot of things happen in ruby-land (check the DoS security bulletin, please). Anyway, the win32 folks being left on the side of the road, and cannot provide feedback of stability due lack of binaries for the latest releases. So, I managed to upload the pre-built gem to my host: http://www.mmediasys.com/releases/mongrel-0.3.18-mswin32.gem

Hi, i need that all the subdomains of an app (using subdomain_fu) use ''.domain.com'' as domain for all cookies. I''ve set ActionController::Base.session_options[:domain] = ''.domain.com'' and it works...for just the session... how can i set this also for common cookies ? (created with cookies[:name] = {:value => value, :expires => 6.months.from_now} )

This pre-release has lots of little goodies and the start of some documentation that should get everyone primed for the big "Mongrel 0.4 Enterprisey Edition 1.2" coming real soon now. INSTALLING
