Class ActionController::Integration::Session
In: lib/active_resource_integration_dsl.rb
Parent: Object

Methods

xhr   xml_http_request  

Public Instance methods

xhr(request_method, path, parameters = nil, headers = nil)

Alias for xml_http_request

xml_http_request(request_method, path, parameters = nil, headers = nil)

This overrides the Rails builtin xml_http_request and is a temporary workaround to allow testing RESTful Ajaxy calls. The patch has been applied to Rails 2.0, so this can probably be removed from ARID when that‘s released.

See: dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7124
