In my Rails app, I have a model called "Photo" and a PhotosController. As would be expected, I've RESTfully routed the URLs so that the URL "/photos" returns an HTML-rendered list of all photos (as thumbnails), and "/photos/foo" returns an HTML-rendered representation of the photo with the friendly_id of "foo". (I also do XML, JSON, and ...
I'm wondering whether to use matrix or query parameters in my URLs. I found an older discussion to that topic not satisfying. Examples URL with query params: http://some.where/thing?paramA=1&paramB=6542 URL with matrix params: http://some.where/thing;paramA=1;paramB=6542 At first sight matrix params seem to have only advantages:...

First, I'm populating a bunch of child objects using accepts_neste...
Hi all, I have deployed a WCF service to SharePoint and on my own machine everything works fine. Navigating to the .svc works and, as expected, navigating to service.svc/Operation generates a "method not allowed message". Posting to the service using jQuery also works perfectly on my own machine. However, when my colleague gets the lat...
