RESTful: redirect_to does not use GET?!

Rails
1

Hi all

I have the following update action:

PUT /music_artists/1

PUT /music_artists/1.xml

def update
music_artist = MusicArtist.find(params[:id])

authorize_to!('EDIT', music_artist) do
  @page_title = "Edit #{music_artist.name}"
  respond_to do |format|
    if music_artist.update_attributes(params[:music_artist])
      flash[:notice] = 'Party organisator was successfully updated.'
      format.html { redirect_to music_artist_url(@program) }
      format.xml  { head :ok }
    else
      @music_artist = music_artist
      format.html { render :action => "edit" }
      format.xml  { render :xml => @music_artist.errors.to_xml }
    end
  end
end

end

Strangely, after update I get redirected to the correct URL
music_artists/123, but I’m getting the error “Unknown action”! It seems
that the redirect is done using POST! But the show action needs GET!

So what’s going on here? Thanks for infos,
Josh

What’s @program. Shouldn’t this be music_artist_url(music_artist) ?

Argh, I forgot to edit the form_for method call in _form.rhtml :wink:

Thanks anyway!
