Saving http response body to database

Rails
1

Hi,

In my application I use the NET::HTTP library to send a get request like
that:

The following method sends the request and return the response:

res = Net::HTTP.get_response(www.somehost.com, /index.html)

puts res.body

I use this method in a model called Message, This model contains a
number of
attributes which are saved in the DB when the form is submitted. When
the
user submits the form, the get request is triggered and the data from
the
form is saved to the DB, but I need to additionally save the body of the
resbonse I created a field in the database for saving the body of each
request, called response , but I don’t know how to do that. How do I get
the
value of res.body to be saved in the response field with other
form-submitted data?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

What’s wrong with my_model.body = res.body ?

‘response’ is the database field where the response should be saved.

You’re trying to set it on the class. How could that ever work? You
need to be working with an instance of Message.

Message.response = res.body

"

‘response’ is the database field where the response should be saved.
