Receive POST from External Form

问题

I have a form on another website (using a different backend) that I want to be able to POST to my Rails application (on a different domain).

• How do I generate a valid authenticity token for the external form so that my Rails app will accept it?
• Assuming I can do the answer to the above question--is there anything else special I need to do to make this work? Apart from the authenticity token, the rest of it seems pretty straightforward to me...

Thanks for the help!

回答1:

You can't generate an autenticity token from outside your Rails app. What you can do, is to disable the token protection only for this action and use a custom implementation based on a before_filter.

skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => :my_action
before_filter :verify_custom_authenticity_token, :only => :my_action

def verify_custom_authenticity_token
  # checks whether the request comes from a trusted source
end

You could just remove the check by adding a filter like:

skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only => :action_name
