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.)

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

Just signed up for hosting with Site5. So far the service has been great, but one question I had couldn''t be answered by the tech support. I need to change the default root directory of my site from public_html to a rails directory (i.e. foo/app/public). The tech support suggested mod_rewrite. Any other suggestions on ways to accomplish this? Thanks, Nathan -------------- next

is there any way to install a RoR application to Site5 (or any other host for that matter) that doesn''t require shell access. It would be nice, for simplicity sake, to be able to upload an application edit a .htaccess (or something) and have the application just run. [ it doesn''t really matter if there is no way to do this. its just that I''m trying to test my apps on a

Hi All. I am develop a Ruby On Rails project. I am trying to deploy my project on site5 server, but i am unable to browse the application and i am not getting any help from the support team of hosting server. Can any one briefly explain me to solve the problem. It would be grateful for me if anyone suggest me. Thanks in advance for your help... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --

Greetings, I''m writing an integration test and would like to make sure that, with the correct credentials, I get the proper response. The problem is I don''t know how to use the ''get'' method to attach the username and password to the request. For example, when using RSpec''s Story tests.. When("I request the user information for that

Hello, I am trying to put my rails app on a host .So I presume the method to do this is to first do rake db_schema_dump and then copy it to the host and do rake db_schema_import. I use mySQL Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.14, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 4.3 ** Invoke db_schema_import (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db_schema_import rake

Hello Mongrel Fans, After about a Month of busy work, bad computers, moving half my house across the country, and other dramas, I''m finally pushing out the next release of Mongrel. 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
