It takes a normal Catalyst action, and changes the dispatch to - append an underscore and method name. First it will try dispatching to - an action with the generated name, and failing that it will try to - dispatch to a regular method. - - 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 with the list of implemented request methods. You can override - this behavior by implementing a custom 405 handler like so: - - sub foo_not_implemented { - ... handle not implemented methods ... - } - - If you do not provide an _OPTIONS subroutine, we will automatically - respond with a 200 OK. The "Allow" header will be populated with the - list of implemented request methods. - - It is likely that you really want to look at Catalyst::Controller::REST, - which brings this class together with automatic Serialization of - requests and responses. - - When you use this module, the request class will be changed to - Catalyst::Request::REST. - -METHODS - dispatch - This method overrides the default dispatch mechanism to the - re-dispatching mechanism described above. - -SEE ALSO - You likely want to look at Catalyst::Controller::REST, which implements - a sensible set of defaults for a controller doing REST. - - Catalyst::Action::Serialize, Catalyst::Action::Deserialize - -TROUBLESHOOTING - 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 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 otherwise. Make sure - "AllowEncodedSlashes On" is in your httpd.conf file in order for - this to run smoothly. + This module implements a serializer for use with "Data::Dumper" and + others. It was factored out of Catalyst::Action::REST because it is + unlikely to be widely used and tends to break tests, be insecure, and is + generally weird. Use at your own risk.
