How can I view HTTP trace on an incoming request?

Hi,

how can I view HTTP trace on an incoming request? I am sending test
HTTP
requests from my test application (app1) to my actually application
(app2)
but I am getting Recognition failed errors? There is nothing in the
app2
logs.

Not sure exactly what you mean by ‘trace’ here. Are you using the ‘Live
HTTP Headers’ plugin for FF? If so, what info is it not giving you that
you
need?

Live headers doesn’t seem to be an option as I want to trace/capture the
HTTP from my App1 (a stub) to App2 (my application). So its App1 making
the
HTTP call to App2, not my browser.

My problem is (if anyone can help) that:

  1. when I call an action in App2 from App1 I get a ROUTING ERROR,
    “Recognition failed for /mycontroller/myaction” - this seems to come
    from
    App2’s inbuilt Rails framework which somehow sees a routing problem
    and
    immediately sends back a “Routing Error” message without ever getting
    to my
    code within App2.
  2. when I use the browser with same "
    http://localhost:3000/mycontroller/myaction" URL (i.e. that App1
    seems
    to be correctly producing, although I don’t have a HTTP trace
    mechanism to
    100% prove this) App2 seems to work fine
  3. again I don’t see any log info turn up in App2 (as if the rails
    framework picked up on the routing error first and then bounced it
    prior to
    my code getting involved)
  4. some details of my code below

Code Used (which resides in App1 running on port 3001 - it’s calling
App2
running on port 3000)
url = “http://localhost:3000/mycontroller/myaction
uri = URI.parse(url)
response = nil
Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) do |request|
response = request.post(uri.path, postData)
end

Note that “response.body” here gives:

Action Controller: Exception caught <>

Routing Error

Recognition failed for 
"/mycontroller/myaction"

Browser Test

Any ideas/help? I can’t seem to see what I’m doing wrong. Any way to
trace
the HTTP coming directly into App2 to see for myself what Rails is
doing?
What about a way to turn up the logging/trace for rails re HTTP?

Thanks in advance
