Hi all, How does one POST information to a controller action from outside of the rails application? I want to be able to POST default data that is not selected within a form.
Chris
sounds like something that cURL could do
Are you talking about from another page? Or from a script that runs automatically/on the command line?
If you're talking about another page, simply setup a form that uses the POST method and point its action towards your action (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/action_name/). If it's from a script, cURL should do the trick.
