Customize the URL hit from ActiveResource

I have an application App2 to which I am sending a POST request from App1 using ActiveResource.

On the App1, I have

module App2
    class Iteeem # Purposely misspelled here
        def self.edit_item
            self.prefix "/api/editing_item/"
            post :item, {:property => {:value => 5665}}
        end
    end
end

It hits

http://app2.mydomain.com/api/editing_item/iteeems/item.xml

(Now you know why I misspelt it)

But I want it to hit 

http://app2.mydomain.com/api/editing_item/item.xml

Please advice.

Solution

  • Well, got it moments after I posted this! Just replace the trailing slash

    replace 

    self.prefix "/api/editing_item/"

    with 

    self.prefix "/api/editing_item"

    and add 

    self.element_name ""

    Hope this helps someone...
