How to POST arrays as a parameter using HTTP request in rails?

[Kriti Aggarwal]

Hi guys,

I am trying to send arrays using POST in rails 4.0. But instead of sending the whole array, it seems to send only the last value in the array. 

I used the following code snippet:

    uri = URI.parse('http://localhost:3000/abc')

    http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)

    request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)

    request.set_form_data(set_params(args_hash))

    response = http.request(request)

I also tried using 'httpparty' gem for the same, but it is also showing an error.

Can anyone point out as to what I am doing wrong? What is the best way of sending arrays using POST in Rails?

Thanks,

Kriti

Is the receiving end a rails app? if so then the parameter name must end in [] for rails to treat it as an array (for example "names[]" will result in params[:names] being an array)

Yes, the receiving end is a rails app. It worked. Thanks a lot.
