I was discussing this on #merb with (I believe) Michael Klishin
yesterday about how to extend merb-core/dispatch/request.rb to support
arbitrary REQUEST_METHOD values. As it is right now it would require a
hideously unacceptable monkey patch to get it working.
The reason I want this is for a WebDAV plugin I've been playing at.
I'm sure there are other HTTP extensions out there that people also
might be interested in supporting.
How I've got it working at the moment (on 0.9.7):
In config/init.rb:
Merb::BootLoader.before_app_loads do
require 'lib/method_extensions'
Merb::Request.class_eval("include MethodExtensions")
# this looks retarded just as a test.
Merb::Request.add_methods(["lock", :proppatch], %w{unlock move},
"copy")
end
> cat lib/method_extensions.rb
module MethodExtensions
private
EXTENSIONS = [] unless defined? EXTENSIONS
public
def self.included(mod)
$stderr.puts "Evil monkey patching of merb-core"
mod.class_eval %{
def method
@method ||= begin
request_method = @env['REQUEST_METHOD'].downcase.to_sym
case request_method
when :get, :head, :put, :delete, :options
request_method
when :post
m = nil
self.class.http_method_overrides.each do |o|
m ||= o.call(self); break if m
end
m.downcase! if m
METHODS.include?(m) ? m.to_sym : :post
else
if supports_method?(request_method)
request_method
else
raise "Unknown REQUEST_METHOD:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'REQUEST_METHOD']}"
end
end
end
end
def self.add_methods(*a)
[a].flatten.each do |method|
m_sym = method.to_s.downcase.to_sym
unless EXTENSIONS.include?(m_sym)
EXTENSIONS << m_sym
Merb::Request::METHODS << m_sym.to_s
Merb::Request.class_eval "def \#{m_sym}?() method == :
\#{m_sym} end"
end
end
end
}
end
def supports_method?(method)
EXTENSIONS.include?(method.to_s.downcase.to_sym)
end
end
