This Action handles doing automatic method dispatching for REST requests. It
takes a normal Catalyst action, and changes the dispatch to append an
-underscore and method name.
+underscore and method name.
For example, in the synopsis above, calling GET on "/foo" would result in
the foo_GET method being dispatched.
-If a method is requested that is not implemented, this action will
-return a status 405 (Method Not Found). It will populate the "Allow" header
+If a method is requested that is not implemented, this action will
+return a status 405 (Method Not Found). It will populate the "Allow" header
with the list of implemented request methods. You can override this behavior
by implementing a custom 405 handler like so:
my $self = shift;
my $c = shift;
- my $controller = $c->component($self->class);
+ my $controller = $c->component( $self->class );
my $method = $self->name . "_" . uc( $c->request->method );
- if ( $controller->can($method) ) {
+ if ( my $action = $controller->action_for($method) ) {
+ return $c->forward( $action, $c->req->args );
+ } elsif ( $controller->can($method) ) {
$c->execute( $self->class, $self, @{ $c->req->args } );
return $controller->$method( $c, @{ $c->req->args } );
} else {

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