Safari, HTTP authorization and REST

Posted by Sandro Paganotti in Ruby on Rails - comments are closed digg this add to delicious

I’ve just discovered an annoying bug in Safari that prevent you using RESTful urls by escaping the semi-colons. Googling around I found that the Rails community has prepared a patch in the meanwhile, you can install it as a plugin from the FingerTips blog.

If you’re using a caching mechanism there is also a way to dinamically escape semi-colons only in safari browsers using Javascript: thank you Dan Kubb

UPDATE: As Dan wrote in a comment (thank you again Dan ) rails core team has replaced semi-commas with slash in the rails edge version.

    One thing to keep in mind is that DHH recently updated Edge Rails so that the semi-colon isn't used to separate the action from the RESTful URL. It now uses the forward slash as the separator.
