I think this is one where you're going to have to browse the svn repository... [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/activeresource](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/activeresource) (the tests are a good place to start 🙂 Best, -r ---

> \> I looked at the following Edge rail api docs? but no sign of active \> resources.. ActiveResource is its own thing and probably won't be bundled with Rails. I just fixed an issue that was preventing you from generating your own rdoc. Change to the directory that activeresource lives in and type 'rake rdoc'. Then open up rails/activeresource/doc/index.html. Docs are fairly sparse, help in this area would be great 🙂
