Rails POST, PUT, GET

Question

After I generate a scaffold, Rails gives me the ability to POST to items.xml which will create a new item. A GET to items.xml will sim

Answer 1

Did you want to know how to use POST only? Do this, for example:

resources :items, :only => [:create]

..etc. This is for Rails 3 by the way, and will generate a single resource to POST create. Or if you only need a really small subset of the REST set, just:

match 'items/:id' => "items#create', :via => :post

etc etc.

The best place to learn about this would be the Routing Guide.
