local_request? would work too.
I need to do something similar -- keep all but cron requests from the
same server from tripping a particular method in my controller. Can
you elaborate on how local_request? could be used for that purpose? I
looked at the documentation, and it appears to be a test you can run
on an exception, but I'm not clear how to employ it -- what would I
use to raise the exception in the first place?
Is it as simple as this?
def my_api_method
send_out_a_bunch_of_mail if local_request?
end
My gut tells me no, there's an object missing here.
