rails, cannot get params from url

I'm trying to use Google Federated Login REST API. I can succesfully reach out to the google server and validate a user but I cannot pull parameters from the return url

for example: http://mysite.com/login/return?openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&openid.mode=id_res&openid.op_endpoint=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Faccounts%2Fo8%2Fud...

All the variables in that return string are not accessible in the params array. I have no idea how to get them out. requst.url, request.query_parameter, and all similar calls do not return the query string.

Solution

  • I think i found the issue. I was using the open-uri library to make the call to google's endpoint url so it may have been stepping outside of the normal rails response/request cycle. I've since used Net::HTTP requests and parse the information from the response.
