Hi, i gave a quick look at the code and it seems you need to work out the route for "ping" on the Devices class. I'm not using reststop, but went to check it out.
http://reststop.rubyforge.org/classes/Camping/Controllers.src/M000011.html def no_method(e) _error("No controller method responds to this route!", 501, e) end def not_found(e) _error("Record not found!", 404, e) end Seems those 501 are being delivered by reststop. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html "10.5.2 501 Not Implemented The server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. This is the appropriate response when the server does not recognize the request method and is not capable of supporting it for any resource. " In Reststop: "Calling REST "<resource name>" creates a controller with the appropriate routes and maps your REST methods to standard Camping controller mehods. This is meant to be used in your Controllers module in place of R <routes>." You'l need to specify those possible routes probably: # GET /devices/1/ping def ping(id) ... end If i well understood, you'd like to have a /devices/1/(\w+) route that reststop could parse. It is not a case solved by a 'prefix'. If you knew the possible methods, you'd implement them. In this case, i'd use Camping standard Routes, where you are free to specify what you want by the use of RegExp's. Or... you can try to change Reststop yourself ;) on your own risk, following or not the REST architecture :) Start by redirecting that error message to a specific Route of yours. /lib/reststop.rb if e.message =~ /no such method/ return no_method(e) # <== act here ;) else raise e end ...or even a bit above, in the protected block under send(custom_action...) pedro mg On 2/23/08, Albert Ng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm using camping with reststop to do a html front end for sending > pre-defined messages to different devices (puts will work) depending on the > time (will parse cron).
