Especially when talking about inserted ads that are embedded in iframes. > How can I create a controller action to do the task and point the button > to > that controller action?

If using a resources route you can add an additional RESTful action as described in the documentation. http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#adding-more-restful-actions You don't need curl. Ruby has a perfectly fine method for accessing URIs: http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/open-uri/rdoc/OpenURI.html > Any example help will help. > I am also trying to expose the button action as a API. Is there anyway I > can expose the same controller action as a API? A request is a request. It doen't matter whether you send it with a button, or with any other way of sending an HTTP request. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
