Rails 2.3.2 Ajax posting to XML

rubyonrails-talk

I believe this might have already been discussed but i have recently been thrown an application that was written for rails 1.2.6, and i have been given the task to upgrade it (please note that im super to new to ruby as well, but we can't really do anything about that)

basically the pervious person was doing an ajax call using "path/to5.xml?_method=delete"

and then posting, however with 2.3.2, this is no longer allowed?

What's happening when you do this ? I do vaguely recall a change where the requests that were exempt from csrf protection changed:

I write code use flex3 from rails2.2 to rails2.3.

And i got the same question with you.

Rails2.3 do not accept GET params from url.

You may try the other ways by the HTTP Headers. I dnot know if you can change the headers for Ajax.
