Question

I made this namespace and route:

namespace :api do
resource :create_kpi, :except => [:edit, :destroy]
end

the controller looks like this:

class Api::CreateKpiController < ApplicationController
  def create
    temp = Kpi.new(params[:data])  

    puts "temp: "
    puts temp.inspect    
  end
end

and I would like to do something like this:

POST    http://127.0.0.1:my_port/api/create_kpi?data="some stuff"

but I am not sure how to construct the url with the setup I have. How should my url look like?

Thanks!

You should not be passing data in query parametr for the POST request, so your url should look like HOST:PORT/api/create_kpi and POST DATA should have data=”some stuff”

here is a curl example

curl -i http://HOST:PORT/api/create_kpi -F data="some stuff"
