RAILS :RESTclient request body

Question

I am trying to use the rest-client library of rails. Can anyone help me understand this code.

RestClient::Resource.new(@service_url).put :account => {:db_url => @config_vars['DATABASE_URL']}

I know it sends a put REST request, but how is the :account => {:db_url => @config_vars['DATABASE_URL']}part sent. I mean, what will the body of the request be like?

thanks

The request body of the PUT request will be JSON:

"account": {
  "db_url": <whatever @config_vars['DATABASE_URL'] is>
}

it should be { "account": { "db_url": } } though, no? – user3242743 Jul 18 '14 at 16:19
