I have the following

- Edge Rails
- Initial ActiveResource Checkin

class Company \< ActiveResource::Base  
self.site = “[http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)”  
end

this works  
c = Company.find(1)

when i try this

c.save

I get  
ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match  
“/companies/.xml”  
with {  
:method=\>:put}):  
/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/routing.rb:1250:in  
`recognize _path' /vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/routing.rb:1240:in `recognize

The problem looks like an extra forward slash after companies, if so how  
can  
it?

Leon L.

c.save works if it is an update

if it is a new record I get the above routingerror.

changed /rails/activeresource/lib/active\_resource/base.rb line 83 to  
read

```
  def update
    id? ? connection.put(self.class.element_path(id), to_xml) :

```

connection.post(self.class.collection\_path, to\_xml)  
end

instead of

```
  def update
    connection.put(self.class.element_path(id), to_xml)
  end

```

and it works!!!
