How to raise 505 exception in ruby on rails in development?

Question

Is there a way to raise a 505 exception with ruby on rails in development?

I would like to testdrive my custom 505 exceptions but found no documentation on how to raise a 505 anywhere.

Answer 1

i am a little confused here. are you talking about a 505 status codes? or are you talking about raising exceptions?

i don't think that there is a 505 exception, so i assume you are talking about HTTP status code version not supported (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes).

it could be as simple as this:

  def index
    render nothing: true, status: 505
  end

if you call an action like that you will get something like this as a response:

curl -I http://hamburg.onruby.dev:5000/
