31 | |
32 | Catalyst::Action::REST - Automated REST Method Dispatching |
33 | |
34 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
35 | |
5e87ec47 |
36 | sub foo :Local :ActionClass('REST') { |
37 | ... do setup for HTTP method specific handlers ... |
38 | } |
7328f0ab |
39 | |
40 | sub foo_GET { |
41 | ... do something for GET requests ... |
42 | } |
43 | |
44 | sub foo_PUT { |
45 | ... do somethign for PUT requests ... |
46 | } |
47 | |
48 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
49 | |
50 | This Action handles doing automatic method dispatching for REST requests. It |
51 | takes a normal Catalyst action, and changes the dispatch to append an |
52 | underscore and method name. |
53 | |
54 | For example, in the synopsis above, calling GET on "/foo" would result in |
55 | the foo_GET method being dispatched. |
56 | |
57 | If a method is requested that is not implemented, this action will |
58 | return a status 405 (Method Not Found). It will populate the "Allow" header |
5e87ec47 |
59 | with the list of implemented request methods. You can override this behavior |
60 | by implementing a custom 405 handler like so: |
61 | |
62 | sub foo_not_implemented { |
63 | ... handle not implemented methods ... |
64 | } |
65 | |
66 | If you do not provide an _OPTIONS subroutine, we will automatically respond |
67 | with a 200 OK. The "Allow" header will be populated with the list of |
68 | implemented request methods. |

69 | |
5e87ec47 |
70 | It is likely that you really want to look at L<Catalyst::Controller::REST>, |
71 | which brings this class together with automatic Serialization of requests |
72 | and responses. |

73 | |
9a76221e |
74 | When you use this module, the request class will be changed to |
75 | L<Catalyst::Request::REST>. |

163 | =item Q: I'm getting a "415 Unsupported Media Type" error. What gives?! |
164 | |
165 | A: Most likely, you haven't set Content-type equal to "application/json", or one of the |
166 | accepted return formats. You can do this by setting it in your query string thusly: |
6df7d0ae |
167 | ?content-type=application%2Fjson (where %2F == / uri escaped). |
168 | |
169 | **NOTE** Apache will refuse %2F unless configured otherise. |
170 | Make sure AllowEncodedSlashes On is in your httpd.conf file in order for this to run smoothly. |
