Fred, Is this what you meant? With Firebug open, I go to the form as a user would, change the annotation "hypothetical protein" to "hypothetical proteinski", then click the update button.
In firebug, I see a new POST request. I can examine it with any of four Firebug tabs (Headers, Post, Response, HTML). Using the "post" tab, I see: _method put commit Update orf[current_annotation] hypothetical proteinski Under the "Request" tab in Firebug, I can examine the Request header, which is: Host andromeda.micro.umass.edu:8080 User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv: 1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100315 Firefox/3.5.9 Accept text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding gzip,deflate Accept-Charset ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive 300 Connection keep-alive Referer http://andromeda.micro.umass.edu:8080/orves/1705/edit Cookie []; []; __utma=198765611.347868135.1233253686.1269352816.1269440269.55; __utmz=198765611.1269352816.54.21.utmccn=(organic)|utmcsr=google| utmctr=umass+map|utmcmd=organic; ["_baby_session=BAh7BzoPc2Vzc2lvbl9pZCIlMTYxODY1MmVkZDMyOWU3MmJiNjAyM2ZiOTY5NmRmNTNJIgpmbGFzaAY6DWVuY29kaW5nIg1VUy1BU0NJSUlDOidBY3Rpb25Db250cm9sbGVyOjpGbGFzaDo6Rmxhc2hIYXNoewAGOgpAdXNlZHsA-- ee8a24f1c308ec43a2b838d45cdb58e9a777ed4c; [] On Apr 6, 5:56 pm, Frederick Cheung <[email protected]> wrote: > On Apr 6, 8:30 pm, dirtbug <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Colin, > > > The log now shows: > > > Processing OrvesController#update (for 128.119.60.171 at 2010-04-06 > > 14:48:28) [PUT] > > Have you had a look (with tcpdump, Firebug etc. ) at exactly what your > form sends to the server? > > Fred -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
