I issued the following curl command to post to the database using
REST:
curl -i -X POST -d “102</
heartRate>100215068</
heartrate>” http://localhost:3000/heartrates
I have tested the GET (with curl also) and it works fine!
curl http://localhost:3000/heartrates/45

The POST command makes it to the Rails controller and actually inserts
a record into the database, but it inserts all NULLs in the fields
(instead of above specified values) as shown by the following log:

This is the create() method (that handles the POST request) in the
controller (generated by scaffold_resource)
POST /heartrates
POST /heartrates.xml
def create
@heartrate = Heartrate.new(params[:heartrate])
respond_to do |format|
if @heartrate.save
flash[:notice] = ‘Heartrate was successfully created.’
#format.html { redirect_to heartrate_url(@heartrate) }
format.xml { head :created, :location =>
heartrate_url(@heartrate) }
else
#format.html { render :action => “new” }
format.xml { render :xml => @heartrate.errors.to_xml }
end
end
end
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
