Rails REVISION\_9248 (edge before 2.1) Sometimes I get a very strange exception: " ActionController::MethodNotAllowed Only get, head, post, put, and delete requests are allowed. " Notice that _all_ HTTP methods are allowed but still the current one is “not allowed”. Restarting the server helps for a while. Then the problem recurs. ---

I’m also getting this with edge 9250. The map.root route doesn’t seem to work correctly, I can view it fine if the controller is specified. On Apr 26, 4:49 am, Piotr W. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

I’ve no idea what the problem might be, but in case you didn’t know, you’re not working with the latest edge, you’re working with edge from 3 weeks ago (at which point rails development moved over to git). Fred ---

Ah, is there an updated rake task to pull from the git repo instead? A quick search didn’t turn up anything. -Zach On May 5, 5:41 am, Frederick C. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)
