Copying a curl command with httparty

[vanderkerkoff]

Hello everyone

I've built a very basic api that will return a number of unread emails to me.

I can access that api and get the response I want like this with curl

curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/email_id -d "data=00700001" -X GET

I'm now trying to do that same thing in a rails app to get the number back, but I'm doing something wrong.

Here's what I've got so far.

  def oauth_messages_count

    require 'httparty'

    url = 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/email_id'

    response = HTTParty.get(url,

    :data => {

      :text => "00700001"

    })

    puts response

    return response

  end

I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I can't work out what it is as the logs on the receiving end aren't really telling me anything.

{"message"=>"The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand."}

Any help, tips, or links, greatly appreciated.
