similar to: WEBrick alternate port specification

All, I would like to test some secure pages that I''m developing in my WEBrick-based development environment. I''ve done some research and it appears that I need to create a new command that will start a HTTPS based WEBrick server. Is this correct? Also, it appears that the https.rb module is not included with the WEBrick bundled in Rails. So, I will need to go get that

Assume that I refactor some code into a module and "require it into" my controller. Do I then need to restart my WEBrick server each time that I change the module? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, Is there a way to set things up so that requests for static files in either WEBrick or Mongrel will just cause a regular HTTP request and not cause the dynamic routing-based invocation to occur? I had an issue where a request for a missing .js file was causing another request to be registered, thus blowing away my flash data. I tried to do this in my routing file, but I don''t

All, In a template, I have <%= text_field :target_list, :DateReceived, { :title => ''uploaded_at'', :class => ''target_list_info'', :disabled => ''true'' } %> Here is the DateReceived method on my

It appears that Mongrel is now the default development server for Rails as of 2.x. I''m assuming this because I''m unable to run Mongrel (for reasons I don''t totally understand yet - I am running Windows and I keep getting asked for MSVCR80.dll which is a _64 bit_ dll on my Win XP machine) and if I issue ruby script/server, I see the same errors that I get when I try to

I am trying to put some smarts around a call to <%= error_messages_for %> so that when I first come into this page i.e. when my instance variable @target_list has not been defined yet, the page doesn''t break. I''m doing this: <% if @target_list? %> <%= error_messages_for ''target_list'' %> <% end %> I get a syntax error on line 1.

I don''t want to put certain code in my controller because I think it makes things more confusing. What is the best way to manage business logic such that it doesn''t end up in the controller? Basically, where should I put my regular utility classes and backing objects that may not be models? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, I''ve decided to jump into Migrations before I get too far along on the DB side of things. I already have some tables built, and I went ahead and built the migration that would have created them from scratch, and I made sure that there was a self.down section to drop them. I wanted to verify that I could roll back so I figured I would use rake to drop these pre-existing tables

I am doing an Ajax call in my page to a controller method like so: new Ajax.Request(''<%= url_for(:action => "target_list_add" )%>'', { asynchronous:true });" In my controller method "target_list_add", I do something and then I say: redirect_to( :action => ''target_list_upload'', :layout => false ) I know for certain

We had an after(:each) callback that looked like this: PurchaseOrder.find(:all).each {|po| DraftInvoice.find_all_by_po_number(po.po_number).each {|di| di.destroy}} which we were hoping would reset some purchase order data in a certain way. However, because we have "self.use_transactional_fixtures = true" set in test_helper.rb, this code was never getting committed. So, I just

All, I have an ActiveRecord object that I need to be able to uniquely identify _before_ I actually save the object (I may not end up saving the object based on conditions). This is because I want to use the ID in another context (a file name in the filesystem). Depending on conditions, I may or may not need to do a lot of stuff between the time that I generate the object ID and actually

Here is my class: class Document < ActiveRecord::Base public def initialize puts "Called initialize..." super.initialize end This generates the following error: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base. The error occured while evaluating nil.initialize WTF? Wes -- Posted via

I have an application where I am allowing users to upload (or refer the app. to) arbritrary HTML that I am (currently) displaying in an IFRAME on a page. The users will be authenticated so it''s not open to the entire universe. I was always uneasy with this, but after reading the security chapter of AWDWR, I am even more concerned. What kinds of applications do people have out there

All, This isn''t strictly a problem or issue with RoR but I wondered if someone might have some insight. I have a DIV on a page which I am using to "preview" the contents of a URL provided by the user. Basically, when the user clicks on a link, I do an AJAX call to an action which uses Net::HTTP to request the URL in question and then update the DIVs innerHTML attribute

I had a situation where I wanted to use a <%= %> (scriptlet) in my text_field call to set the "disabled" attribute on the text field, like so: <%= text_field(:current_job, ''removeLinkPos'', :value => '''', :id => ''offset'', :maxlength => 2, :disabled => <%= sometest ? ''true'' :

All, I''ve downloaded and installed a plugin into my vendor directory. How do I then take advantage of it? It has an init.rb file which has the appropriate require. What do I need to do to make sure that the plugin code gets loaded? Thanks, Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, In JSP, I can output strings in the Web page by either <%= foo %> //foo is a string or returns a string or <% out.write("test") %> //write directly to the output stream. What is the method of "writing to the output stream" in RoR? Basically, what is the equivalent of out.write()? I have an if then statement that I want to put around a call to h

All, I''m building model objects for existing tables that I cannot modify. In AWDWR, Dave says "Note that our join table has no id column...The second reason for not including an id column in the join table is that AR automatically includes all columns from the join tables when accessing rows using it. If the join table included a column called id, its id would overwrite the id

I am trying to access the Upload Progress feature in Action_Controller. When I add Action_Controller::Base.enable_upload_progress to my environment.rb file, and restart WEBrick, I get the following error: C:\eclipse\workspace\eSimplyOnlineRails>ruby script/server => Booting WEBrick... c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:195:in

I am trying to use a Gem in my application. I have verified that I am "requiring" it correctly in my controller. When I go to access a name in the Gem, I get an "uninitialized constant" error. However, if I wait a few minutes, it seems like the symbol then becomes available. Is there some kind of polling going on here in WEBrick where it''s attempting to discover
