[Rails] IIS, Net::HTTP::Get, and Basic Authentication
I'm getting a 401.2 from IIS
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the
credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a
WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to
accept.
The sysadmin says that basic auth is enabled. Is there something
special about how rails handles basic auth? Is there a way for me to
see what the server actually gets and what the headers say is
acceptable?
My Code:
def get_wsdl(url=nil)
return false if url.nil?
url = URI.parse(url) unless url.is_a?(URI)
connection = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
connection.use_ssl = true
connection.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
connection.start do |http|
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new("#{url.path}?#{url.query}")
req.basic_auth 'username','password'
puts http.request(req).body
end
end

[Rails] Re: Active Resource custom method using POST
I may just go to the command line with curl - that seems to work
without a hitch.
Also, for anyone looking at creating a POST body, the code I posted
previously for converting a hash to POST body can be completely
replaced with {hash}.to_param. In my case:
body = input.to_param
Good luck -

[Rails] Re: memcache for variables
in your config/environment/development.rb file (or whatever
environement your are configuring)
config.cache_store = :mem_cache_store
Depending on how much memory you want to consume you can either load
your whole user model, the name to ID collection or just the users
that log in.
In the User model do something like:
def self.names
Rails.cache.fetch('user_names', :expires_in => 3600)
{User.all.collect {|u| [u.id,u.name]}} # names are cached for 1hr
(3600 seconds)
end
again in your controller:
def list
@names ||= User.names.sort
end
in your view:
<% @names.each do |name| -%>
<%= name[0] -%>
<% end -%>
If the names aren't cached or the cache is older than the one hour
defined in the model then the fetch method knows to go grab them
afresh.
I'm using memcache in a more complex manner with full objects and it
works like a charm - as a matter of fact this has taken common
requests for fetching data completely off of the database. I rebuild
the cache without using expiration by implementing callbacks on
modification of the underlying data - this has taken load times for
data intensive / cmplex data sets from 20+ seconds down to an
imperceivable delay... makes clients happy to see that kind of
improvement. :)
Naturally you will need to have the memcache service running somewhere
in your environment.
Hope that helps

[Rails] Active Resource custom method using POST

great but I cannot get post to function at all... the error I get back

[Rails] SOAP WSDLFactory
I've created a method for creating a SOAP WSDL driver.
I've tested this without basic auth and without SSL and it works
great. The sysadmin has enabled SSL and basic auth and now I'm stuck.
The error is:
HTTPClient::BadResponseError: unexpected response:
#
Which seems to indicate a failed authentication...
Here's the method:
def create_record_driver # WS for creating a new record
username = "username"
password = "mypassword"
ws_site = "https://#{BASE_SITE}/ws/CreateRecord.asmx";
wsdl = "#{ws_site}?WSDL"
drv = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
drv.options['protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_mode'] =
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
drv.options["protocol.http.basic_auth"] << [ ws_site, username,
password ]
return drv
end
Any help would be appreciated.
