Download a cacert.pem for RailsInstaller

Why?

There is a long standing issue in Ruby where the net/http library by default does not check the validity of an SSL certificate during a TLS handshake. Rather than deal with the underlying problem (a missing certificate authority, a self-signed certificate, etc.) one tends to see bad hacks everywhere. This can lead to problems down the road.

From what I can see the OpenSSL library that Rails Installer delivers has no certificate authorities defined. So, let's go fetch some from the curl website. And since this is for ruby, why don't we download and install the file with a ruby script?

Installation

The Ruby Way! (Fun)

describe "GET current" do
before do
@request.cookies['hidden_notices'] = "1,#{notices(:permanent).id}"
get :current, :format => 'js'
end
it { should respond_with(:success) }
it { should set_cookie(:hidden_notices).to("#{notices(:permanent).id}") }
it { should render_template('notices/current') }
end

Exposing an API in Rails 3

Exposing an API

APIs are becoming an essential feature of modern web applications. Rails does a good job of helping your application provide an API using the same MVC structure you're accustomed to.

In the Controller

Let's work with the following example controller:

class ArticlesController &lt; ApplicationController
// Here is a proposal for minimalist JavaScript classes, humbly offered.
// There are (at least) two different directions in which classes can be steered.
// If we go for a wholly new semantics and implementation, then fancier classical
// inheritance can be supported with parallel prototype chains for true inheritance
// of properties at both the class and instance level.
// If however, we keep current JavaScript prototype semantics, and add a form that
// can desugar to ES3, things must necessarily stay simpler. This is the direction
// I'm assuming here.
