First off, it's a bit odd to be making those calls to restclient where you're making them - they'll happen when the class gets loaded, which isn't really under your control. Secondly you don't seem to be using ruby's interpolation properly - API_URL isn't getting replaced by the value of that constant Lastly, @ is a special character in a url (since it marks the separation between the end of the password and the rest of the url), so you'll need to escape the literal @ in your username (I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way in rest client to just supply a username and password rather than have to do that mangling yourself) Fred > > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
