I’m trying to use a site called zendesk.com and you authenticate to the
site
using an email address and a password, so that the self.site definition
in
the model looks like this:
The problem with this is, because we have the @ sign in our username,
Ruby
thinks this to be an invalid URL so throws a big hissy fit:

The command line curl has no such complaint however.

URL Encode the @ (%40) ?
That returns a 401. I think it may be passing in the %40 as part of the
username.

That didn’t work. I already tried it before making my post.
It appears that you can set site to either a string or an instance of
URI. If rails’/ruby’s parsing of a url string is tripping up in this
case maybe the latter option is worth exploring?
As in URI.parse? That fails too, with an identical error.

No, I was thinking along the lings of
some_uri = URI.parse(‘http://myplace.zendesk.com’)
some_uri.user = ‘xxx’
some_uri.password = ‘zzz’
self.site = some_uri
irb(main):005:0> uri.user = ‘[email protected]’

Beginning to look like you’re walking down an unfrequently used
path :-). If URI is expecting @ to be encoded as %40, then I suppose
its rails’ responsability to convert the %40 into a @ when
constructing the authorization header.
Override authorization_header so that the correct header is produced ?
This might even work:
Yeah definitely. I’ve got a model inheriting from ActiveResource::Base
called ZenDesk, and all the models I need the ugly code in just inherit
from
that one model.

You are bloody brilliant Fred. I would’ve never thought of doing that.
