Hello, I am using link_to helper to post the request. i want to hide the extra parameters. so i have tried :method => :post also :post => true. but it's not works for me. still it shows query string. can any one suggest proper solution?
Is hard to hide the qiery string but i can be done , how many params you have?
POST is not the same as “GET with the parameters hidden.” Read about the HTTP methods here: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html
Basically, GET is for retrieval, and POST is for resource creation. If you’re doing a retrieval, the method should be GET, not POST. There’s a reason anchor tags (created by link_to) cannot do POST: because they are just supposed to link two documents together, not affect state.
