Ruby - Get request body from incoming http call

Question

Hi,

I am receiving http requests to my rails application to a url /account/postback

The body of this incoming request contains some json that I need to retrieve, how can I do this in ruby?

Thanks, Andy

Answer 1

The following should print the body of the request

routes.rb

map.connect 'account/:action', :controller => 'accounts'

accounts_controller.rb

class AccountsController < ApplicationController
  def postback
    puts request.body.read    
  end
end
