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

I''ve run into an issue with my rails application being unable to properly set cookies on Mongrel 0.3.18. If I run the simplified code below in Mongrel 3.14.4, both cookies are properly sent to and saved by the browser. With the same code in 0.3.18, only the auth_token cookie is created (if I switch them, only the userid as it will only properly create the first cookie in the list.)

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

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.

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 ||

I am new to Ruby on Rails. I have read a lot, and bought several books, and now I have started to implement a modified "shopping cart", following the AWDWR-book, with modifications to suit our application (subscriptions and memberships). Having done up to chapter 7 I have had no real problems, except one: Since our customers are Swedish I need the screen names, texts etc to be in

I''m digging around and googling but can''t seem to find what I think is a simple thing. All I''m trying to do is insert data in a migration into a table, using regular SQL statements. LIke this: class AddStateData < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up INSERT INTO states values ('''',''Alaska''); INSERT INTO states values

I moved a project from /var/www/mypro to /home/user1/mypro ... what do I have to change in config? The server does not start anymore. Thank you - Eric -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am putting up a tool that connects to a subversion repository and checks latest revision and downloads the changeset log for all the changes made since last check and puts inside a hash for various uses inside the code. I am just wondering if the code that checks the subversion repo and reads it''s data should bolong to a controller of it''s own or a model of it''s own.

Hello RoR! I''m building a rails app for hosting multi-page surveys. I set up questionnaire, question, and question_component models. Now I''m initializing them with some data. survey.rb q1 = Question.new "q1" q1.quote "Welcome to a test of the new interviewing system." q2 = Question.new "q2" q2.quote "Do you like pie?"
