I&#39;m trying to create a user on my rails app with a curl command from os x terminal. No matter how I format the data, the app returns a responses that non of my validations have passed.

    curl http://localhost:3000/api/1/users.json -i -X POST -d {&quot;user&quot;:{&quot;first_name&quot;:&quot;firstname&quot;,&quot;last_name&quot;:&quot;lastname&quot;,&quot;email&quot;:&quot;email@email.com&quot;,&quot;password&quot;:&quot;app123&quot;,&quot;password_confirmation&quot;:&quot;app123&quot;}}&quot;

I&#39;ve tried every variation. I&#39;ve tried using [] brackets, I&#39;ve tried user={data..} and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?


curl json post request via terminal to a rails app

I'm trying to create a user on my rails app with a curl command from os x terminal. No matter how I format the data, the app returns a responses that non of my validations have passed.
<pre><code class="hljs language-bash">curl http://localhost:3000/api/1/users.json -i -X POST -d {"user":{"first_name":"firstname","last_name":"lastname","email":"email@email.com","password":"app123","password_confirmation":"app123"}}"

I've tried every variation. I've tried using [] brackets, I've tried user={data..} and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

This seems like a solved problem but I am unable to find a solution for it.

Basically, I read a JSON file, change a key, and write back the new JSON to the same file. All works, but I loose the JSON formatting.So, instead of:

    {
      name:&#39;test&#39;,
      version:&#39;1.0&#39;
    }

I get

    {name:&#39;test&#39;,version:&#39;1.1&#39;}

Is there a way in Node.js to write well formatted JSON to file ?

    var http = require(&#39;http&#39;);

      port: 80,

      method: &#39;POST&#39;
    };
    
    var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
      console.log(&#39;STATUS: &#39; + res.statusCode);
      console.log(&#39;HEADERS: &#39; + JSON.stringify(res.headers));
      res.setEncoding(&#39;utf8&#39;);
      res.on(&#39;data&#39;, function (chunk) {
        console.log(&#39;BODY: &#39; + chunk);
      });
    });
    
    req.write(JSON.stringify({ a:1, b:2, c:3 }, null, 4));
    req.end();

Why is this? My other resources work fine. Am I not pluralizing this correctly or something?

Build-in rake tasks work fine, but my new custom one, in Project/lib/tasks/payments.rb doesn&#39;t get loaded:

      task :compute =&gt; :environment do

Is there an invocation of `sed` todo in-place editing without backups that works both on Linux and Mac? While the BSD `sed` shipped with OS X seems to need `sed -i &#39;&#39; …`, the GNU `sed` Linux distributions usually come with interprets the quotes as empty input file name (instead of the backup extension), and needs `sed -i …` instead.

Is there any command line syntax which works with both flavors, so I can use the same script on both systems?

I have a Document based core data app. The main document window has a number of views, each controlled by its own custom `NSViewController` which are switched in as necessary. I want each of these view controllers to be able to drop down a custom modal sheet from the document window. However because the views are separate and not in the `MyDocument` `nib` I cannot link the view to the document window in IB. This means that when I call

    [NSApp beginSheet: sheetWindow modalForWindow: mainWindow modalDelegate: self didEndSelector: @selector(didEndSheet:returnCode:contextInfo:) contextInfo: nil];

I’m supplying nil for `mainWindow` and the sheet therefore appears detached.

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks

First of all, here&#39;s the userland question: [Disabling mouse acceleration in Mac OS X @ superuser][1] 

To summarize: I want to have *linear mouse response* on Mac OS X. That is, no acceleration; an *adjustable* but *constant* `pixels pointer moves / meters mouse moved` ratio.

I have no idea how to go about this. (Well, not true, but it&#39;s better to start from scratch.) Should I write a mouse driver? A startup program? A click-and-forget settings adjuster? A preferences pane?

I want my solution to be as simple, universal and unintrusive as possible, so some criteria might be:

 - Works on Snow Leopard (10.6.5) and later - much later, unless an important piece of the API gets deprecated
 - Works on mice but not touchpads, tablets, magic wands... (Or maybe configurable?)
 - Can easily be applied/run by other people who want the same thing (all 42 of us on the planet)

I&#39;m a fairly experienced C programmer, both in user and kernel space (in Linux and Windows), but know next to nothing about Mac OS X or Darwin. So anything is appreciated, really (&quot;can&#39;t distribute drivers without certificate from Apple&quot;) but some documentation/reference would get me a long way (&quot;Darwin&#39;s Next Generation Mouse Curve Editing API and Examples&quot;).

I know the question is a bit open but I don&#39;t even know what *kind* of a solution could work. Thanks in advance.

Edit: Although I&#39;ve asked both questions to solve the same problem, this is the programmatical counterpart to the other one. (See the first sentence of this question.) Here I&#39;m trying to create my own solution, so to speak, using - I don&#39;t know - some HID API? A driver? A solution on the lines of &quot;open current user&#39;s prefs file and change this setting to this&quot; should probably be posted on the other question, but note that such a solution probably doesn&#39;t exist.

Say I have a file at the URL &quot;http://mywebsite.com/myscript.txt&quot; that contains a script:

    #!/bin/bash
    echo &quot;Hello, world!&quot;
    read -p &quot;What is your name? &quot; name
    echo &quot;Hello, ${name}!&quot;

And I&#39;d like to run this script without first saving it to a file. How do I do this?

Now, I&#39;ve seen the syntax:

    bash &lt; &lt;(curl -s http://mywebsite.com/myscript.txt)

But this doesn&#39;t seem to work like it would if I saved to a file and then executed. For example readline doesn&#39;t work, and the output is just:

    $ bash &lt; &lt;(curl -s http://mywebsite.com/myscript.txt)
    Hello, world!

Similarly, I&#39;ve tried:

    curl -s http://mywebsite.com/myscript.txt | bash -s --

With the same results.

Originally I had a solution like:

    timestamp=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
    curl -s http://mywebsite.com/myscript.txt -o /tmp/.myscript.${timestamp}.tmp
    bash /tmp/.myscript.${timestamp}.tmp
    rm -f /tmp/.myscript.${timestamp}.tmp

But this seems sloppy, and I&#39;d like a more elegant solution.

I&#39;m aware of the security issues regarding running a shell script from a URL, but let&#39;s ignore all of that for right now.

I am trying to download a tarball from GitHub using [cURL][1], but it does not seem to be redirecting:

    $ curl --insecure https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2
    &lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;You are being &lt;a href=&quot;https://nodeload.github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2&quot;&gt;redirected&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;

Note: wget works for me:

    $ wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2

However I want to use cURL because ultimately I want to untar it inline with something like:

    $ curl --insecure https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2 | tar zx

I found that the URL after redirecting turned out to be https://download.github.com/pinard-Pymacs-v0.24-beta1-0-gcebc80b.tar.gz, but I would like cURL to be smart enough to figure this out.

*EDIT* Note that there is an issue if the page says &quot;404 not found&quot; but returns a 200 OK message. It&#39;s a misconfigured web server, but you may have to consider this case.

With the curl command line tool, is it possible to `echo`, print, or view the request, and not send it? Sort of like a `-n` option? I would like to see the request header &amp; body, and anything else that&#39;s included. Is there anything else that&#39;s sent besides header &amp; body?
