Internal server error after empty POST with XML content type
Reported by qoobaa | May 16th, 2009 @ 10:52 PM | in 2.x
The problem appears when you try to send empty POST request to RoR app using jQuery.
jQuery.post("/users", {})
It's a bit strange in jQuery but instead of: application/x-www-form-urlencoded it adds application/xml Content-Type header. The result is 500 Internal Server Error with following backtrace:
/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ 2009-05-16 23:42:27 +0200
Status: 500 Internal Server Error

It's a minor issue, can be fixed in jQuery by adding data or forcing the Content-Type somehow. However it should be fixed to send a bit nicer response.
