Rails active resource: how to send post parameters in the request body and not as query strings?

Question

I am calling some post request using rails activeresource, however all the parameters are sent as query string and the result is that the called url is too long and I get WEBrick::HTTPStatus::RequestURITooLarge exception.

So I need to send the parameters in the request body instead, however I couldn't find how to do this.

Thanks a lot

To send a post request in activeresource you should reference the documentation

For example you can do this

#Entity.post(custom_method_name, options = {}, body = '')
Company.post(:add_role, nil, {user_id: 1, role_id: 2}.to_json)

Tell me if you need anything else.
