How do I verify the URL that ActiveResource intends to use on a call?
- by btelles
Hi there,
I'm trying to request data from another Rails app, but I keep getting a "URL not found" error.
Is it possible to use the debugger to figure out the intended URL and parameters for an intended ActiveResource call?
For example, I'd like to make a GET request with the following parameters:
https://some_server.com/employees/search.xml?last_name=smith
And I have the following ActiveResource model
class Employee < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = "https://.some_server.com"
end
And the some_server.com app has a search action that maps this way:
map.connect "/employees/search.:format", :controller => 'employees', :action => 'search'
But when I try this:
Employee.new(:last_name => 'smith).get(:search)
I get a 404 "Service not found" error. To me, that sounds like the URL that ACtiveResource is requesting is incorrect, 'cause when I make the above request via a browser, I get the xml. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Cheerio,
Berns
