Welcome!
Thanks :)
What I wanted to be able to do was to be able to accept my input
as XML, JSON, microformats or a regular query string. It's quite
straightforward to add parameter parsers for different types of
input in Rails 1.2, but distinguishing the microformat input from
a standard query string was a bit trickier.
Um, sorry, I'm not quite following you. Do you mean *encoding* the
microformat data _into_ the query string? My understanding is that
the query string is urlencoded vs. HTML, so there's no ambiguity.
But I'm probably completely missing your point.
WHat I wanted to be able to do was post HTML (marked up with
microformats) to my endpoint just as I would post XML, and to have
mofo then parse that HTML and pull out the relevant content.
I wrote up a few notes on my blog:
http://jystewart.net/process/2007/02/intercepting-microformats-in-
rails-input/
I've also written up a longer piece on the process which should
appear on infoq.com some time soon.
Look forward to it -- please let us know when it is up.
It actually went up a couple of hours after I last posted:
