How can I send date object from Adobe Flex to RESTful rails?

Question

Hello, I'm working on an Adobe AIR project that use the Ruby on Rails as RESTful web service as the back end.

I have found a lot of examples that show how can I send the data to operated by Rails. but I stuck at date object, which will be very useful if I can send Actionscript's date object to Rails via XML or whatever and Rails can understand the this easier.

Thank you for any answer, I sure that many still find the same solution for this problem

I haven't done this with Rails but some ideas:

• AMF rubyamf
• JSON as3corelib has JSON encode/decode

Check out the Corelib library. It has a class called DateUtil. 'DateUtil' allows you to translate to and from the Rails W3C date format.
