WEBrick::HTTPStatus::LengthRequired error when accessing create method in controller
- by Chris Bisignani
I have a very simple controller set up:
class LibrariesController < ApplicationController
...
def create
@user.libraries << Library.new(params)
@user.save
render :json => "success!"
end
...
end
Basically, whenever I try to access the create method of LibrariesController using HTTParty.post I get a WEBrick::HTTPStatus::LengthRequired error on the server. The method is not even being accessed! Here is the stack trace (this is the full output server side - notice that the controller isn't even being accessed):

I'm running rails 2.3.5 and ruby 1.8.7. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more details.
