Setting respond_to in application_controller creates mysterious 406 when respond_to is called in other controllers
Reported by Paul Campbell | July 12th, 2010 @ 05:05 PM
I created a before_filter in application_controller:
def set_return_to
respond_to do |format|
format.html { session[:return_to] = url_for(params) }
end
end
But any subsequent calls to respond_to within other controllers cause a very silent:
def index
@comments = Comment.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js
end
end
GET /comments/?format=js
406 Not Acceptable
If I add this in application_controller.rb:
def set_return_to
respond_to do |format|
format.html { session[:return_to] = url_for(params) }
format.any { return }
end
end
...things work just fine.
I'm pretty sure in Rails 2.3 you could specify only one type to respond to in application_controller and that it wouldn't limit the response types elsewhere.
Regardless, it was the mysterious "406 Not Acceptable" that had me thinking this was a bug. Perhaps even a message to say where I was limiting the accept types.
