make a put with mechanize in ruby and rails server

Question

I try make a put in a rails server I get this error: 'send_request_with_body': undefined method 'bytesize' for # (NoMethodError) this is the ruby code:

agent = Mechanize.new
agent.basic_auth('user@gmail.com', '12345678')



a = agent.put('http://localhost:3000/thermostats/26.json',{ "thermostat[serial]" => "1",   "thermostat[temperature]" => 50,   "thermostat[humidity]" => 122222, "thermostat[user_id]" => 6 })

and this is the code of the controller you want to do put

# PATCH/PUT /thermostats/1.json


def update
respond_to do |format|
  if @thermostat.update(thermostat_params)
    @thermostat.history_thermostats.create(temperature:@thermostat.temperature, humidity: @thermostat.humidity, energy: @thermostat.energy)
    format.html { redirect_to @thermostat, notice: 'Thermostat was successfully updated.' }
    format.json { head :no_content }
  else
    format.html { render action: 'edit' }
    format.json { render json: @thermostat.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
  end
end

end

Read the documentation for #put, the second argument should be a string, not a hash: https://github.com/sparklemotion/mechanize/blob/master/lib/mechanize.rb#L533 — Lee Jarvis, May 16 '14 at 15:54
What should I put in "entity"?, Is the name of the controller? — user2994005, May 16 '14 at 16:21

Working off of Lee Jarvis' answer. This worked for me.

@agent.put(uri, "{\"key\": \"val\",\"key\": \"val\"}", {"Content-Type" => "application/json"})
