How to POST arrays as a parameter using HTTP request in rails?

Rails

Hi guys,

I am trying to send arrays using POST in rails 4.0. But instead of
sending
the whole array, it seems to send only the last value in the array.
I used the following code snippet:

uri = URI.parse('http://localhost:3000/abc')

http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)

request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)

request.set_form_data(set_params(args_hash))

response = http.request(request)

I also tried using ‘httpparty’ gem for the same, but it is also showing
an
error.

Can anyone point out as to what I am doing wrong? What is the best way
of
sending arrays using POST in Rails?

Thanks,
Kriti

Is the receiving end a rails app? if so then the parameter name must end
in
[] for rails to treat it as an array (for example “names[]” will result
in
params[:names] being an array)

Yes, the receiving end is a rails app. It worked. Thanks a lot.
