[Myexperiment-discuss] Empty file returned

[Linde, A.E.]

I’m wondering if I’m doing something stupid here. I have a _javascript_ routine that does a GET on a foreign endpoint via a proxy class that Don gave me but I keep getting back an empty file whether the proxy is called by the _javascript_ or by sticking the http://localhost:3000/proxy/uri=... directly into the browser address (response below is ‘no response text’) where calling the endpoint by sticking that into a browser address returns the correct file. Can anyone see what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,
Tony.

=======================
Rails (uri=’http://localhost:8080/sac/mysac?metadata’)
====
# Proxy controller

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

class ProxyController < ApplicationController

  # GET /proxy
  def proxy

    query = CGIMethods.parse_query_parameters(request.query_string)
    uri   = URI.parse(query['uri'])

    response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) { |http|
      http.get(uri.path)
    }

    send_data(response.body, :type => response['content-type'],
        :status => "#{response.code} #{response.message}")
  end

end
