def create req = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(request.body) if user = User.authenticate(req["email"], req["password"]) session[:user_id] = user.id render :json => "{\"r\": \"t\"}" + req else render :json => "{\"r\": \"f\"}" end end 'create' method is in a controller and mapped to "/login", I am setting correct content types and accept headers from my curl client. I am getting a 422 http status response all the time.
Any suggestions?
If you are sending in the right headers, then you won't need to do "ActiveSupport::JSON.decode" -- rails will do that for you.
You'll need to set the following headers in your post.
Content-Type: application/json Accept: application/json A 422 means Unprocessable Entity --- generally that there was a validation failure.
You should be able to have. If you can't, then your headers aren't set correctly.
def create if user = User.authenticate(params["email"], params["password"]) session[:user_id] = user.id render :json => "{\"r\": \"t\"}" + req else render :json => "{\"r\": \"f\"}" end end 
accepts_nested_attributes_for in your models. (parent accepts for child)
