[LRUG] Flex/Rails and downloading data to a file

[Kenneth Lee]

Hey,

send_data sends binary data, not getting the expected results doesn't 
tell me much, can you find out what you are getting back? content-type 
etc... Also what are you expecting back, json, xml, a file?

I recommend using curl or even a browser to talk to rails via http and 
see if the data is what you expect your Flex app to receive as really 
it's just acting as an API.

Also for the invalid auth token just remove protect_from_forgery from 
you application controller, or at least that is where you should start 
as that is where the error is originating from I believe.

Hope this gets you started.
