I have an uploadify component, which sends the files back to rails application. The problem I noticed at some point is, that for some special values data passed along are altered by the flash object.
On the client side I have
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#photo_image').uploadify({
...
'scriptData': {
authenticity_token = 'M++Q3HNclKS7QBEM71lkF/8IkjTwr2JdtqJ4WNXVDro='
...
}
});
});
What Rails is getting:
"authenticity_token"=>"M Q3HNclKS7QBEM71lkF/8IkjTwr2JdtqJ4WNXVDro="
When there is no '+' sign in the token everything works just fine. It looks like the flash is altering the string somehow. Any idea how to escape it? I tried CGI.escape, but result is exactly the same, '+' are stripped...
