I 've researched and noticed that ActiveResource lack this functionality. So, what is the current state of the art when doing a file upload? One problem with Guillermo's approach is that the request has to be nested, like this: body = { :file => {:uploaded_data => File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/tmp/" + original_filename), :owner_id =>...
Hi, I'm writing a client that consumes a non-REST API (i.e. GET site.com/gettreasurehunts), which requires that I specify all parameters (even the resource ID) in the request's HTTP body as a custom XML document. I'd like to use Rails and ActiveResource, but I'd be forced to rewrite almost all of ActiveResource's methods. Is there anot...
I've been struggling with an issue with ActiveResource for a bit now: when a hostname resolves for an ActiveResource request, but there's no server on the other end to return information, ActiveResource's timeout value doesn't work. The request just hangs. After reviewing the ActiveResource code, I've realized that this is because the u...
Hi There, We are in the process of building a REST compliant API. The backend is implemented in PHP and we want the interface to follow the convention over configuration motto.

I have several ActiveResource model in my project. There was so strange to me when I called to_xml on my ActiveResource. The options that I passed to to_xml like :only and :except doesn't work at all. On ActiveRecord, it works really well. Anyone knows? class Node < ActiveResource::Base self.site = NODE_SERVER end # node has uuid, n...

I have a simple jruby+swt based client that collects data on an occasionally connected PC. Now I need to push those records to the server (Rails 2.3).

I've seen a ton of examples with ActionWebService and XMLRPC, but they're 3 years old and from what I understand, ActiveResource is supposed to replace ActionWebService. I'm familiar with how ActiveResource can use XML to "talk" to other web sites and consume model information, but XML-RPC is a whole different type of thing, wherein you...

I'm using ActiveResource to consume a REST service. The xml from the service looks like: <Person> <FirstName>Kevin</FirstName> <LastName>Berridge</LastName> </Person> ActiveResource parses this just fine, but it uses the names verbatim. So the model class will look like: p = Person.find(1) p.FirstName p.LastName I would much ...

One of those requirements is specifically for arrays. Here's two examples: class Person { public string FirstName { get; set; } } List<Person> people = new List<Person>(); people.Add( new...
