It's off topic, but this is a curious response code to send for new. You haven't created anything at all ;) > For html requests, the response code will be the standard :ok 200 > code.

This kind of thing is to be expected because sending the 'right' response code to a browser doesn't lead to the correct behaviour from a user's perspective. For example an API's create action sends a 201 response, however browsers want a 302 redirect. You can see this kind of thing here: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb#L142-167 > So, should I add the test case and submit the patch, or should I > update the documentation to be clear that it doesn't work for html > requests?

I believe it's deliberate here, but if you can track down some errant looking code, do raise a ticket with a patch. > On a related note, I tried using the #display method like in the > excerpted comments, but I get a wrong number of arguments error (2 for > 0..1). > > Thanks everyone! > > -Steve Schwartz > @jangosteve > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Core" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core?hl=en. > > -- Cheers Koz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
