HTTP status code 302 - ruby-on-rails

Question

Im working on my Rails Backend in Ruby and i want to post Data to this server. But if i do a Post-request with PAW i get redirected. Im a newbie to Http Requests. Could someone explain me the functionality and how to use http post requests?
i want to post information on my server's datanase (sqlite3).
Here's a screenshot which should explain everything:
how does this work? please explain :)
thanks.
greetings John
and here's the code:
OwnersController:
#app/controllers/owners_controller.rb
class OwnersController < SessionsController
respond_to :html
before_action :owner_find, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
def index
#owners = Owner.all
end
def show
end
def update
#owner = Owner.find(params[:id])
if #owner.update(owner_params)
redirect_to #owner
else
render 'edit'
end
end
def new
#owner = Owner.new
end
def destroy
#owner.destroy
redirect_to owners_path
end
def edit
end
def create
#owner = Owner.new owner_params
if #owner.save!
flash[:notice] = 'You signed up successfully'
flash[:color]= 'valid'
redirect_to owners_path
else
flash[:notice] = 'Form is invalid'
flash[:color]= 'invalid'
render 'new'
end
end
private
def owner_find
#owner = Owner.find(params[:id])
end
def owner_params
params.require(:owner).permit(:name, :password, :password_confirmation, :token)
end
end
SessionController:
class SessionsController < ApplicationController
before_filter :authenticate_user, :except => [:login, :login_attempt]
def login
#goes to Login Form
end
def logout
session[:owner_id] = nil
redirect_to :action => 'login'
end
def login_attempt
authorized_user = Owner.authenticate_by_name(params[:login_name],params[:login_password])
if authorized_user
session[:owner_id] = authorized_user.id
flash[:notice] = "Wow Welcome again, you logged in as #{authorized_user.name}"
redirect_to welcome_index_path
else
flash[:notice] = 'Invalid Username or Password'
flash[:color]= 'invalid'
render 'login'
end
end
end

It seems that the CRSF authentication failed..
Edit:
at first:
to Rich Peck! This helped me so much. Thank you!! I really appreciate your effort.
Im near to the solution.. My problem is: i cant put the correct params in the url. The token-auth is disabled for testing. so it wont matter.
the params should be like:
Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓", "authenticity_token"=>"q9JvFhoSUgfydFTvh18JHbIIdKNDjnOS9m/trVBu9EHPP04xGsO69zPh1BFZBI1Ev1YcnOTiPmaAiPWOSkm5Xg==", "owner"=>{"name"=>"Hubert", "password"=>"[FILTERED]", "password_confirmation"=>"[FILTERED]"}, "commit"=>"Create Owner"}
and not as in my request:
Parameters: {"name"=>"Hubert", "password"=>"[FILTERED]", "password_confirmation"=>"[FILTERED]", "owner"=>{}}

HTTP Status Codes
Firstly, a 30x response means "Resource Moved".
301 responses are used by many SEO people to denote permanent relocation of resources. 302 not so common, but still means a similar thing.
Every time you send & receive HTTP requests, you're going to receive a status code. The typical is the 200 response -- status success!
What you're seeing is the redirect_to command in action -
if #owner.save!
flash[:notice] = ...
redirect_to owners_path
I've never used PAW before, but I assume it's just giving you the pure response of the server, which would in this case be a 30x "Resource Moved" code.
I would expect a typical browser request to load the redirected route and display its yield on the screen.
Server
As a way to test this, you should attempt the same transaction in your browser:
lvh.me:3000/orders
(lvh.me is a domain routed to your own localhost which helps with subdomains in Rails)
This will give you the ability to test and see what happens with the responses. You *should * find that your data has been saved to the database (albeit SQLite3 in your case).
Syntax
Finally, you need to ensure you're using the correct syntax in your code.
Specifically:
#app/controllers/owners_controller.rb
class OwnersController < ApplicationController
...
def create
#owner = Owner.new owner_params
end
private
def owner_params
params.require(:owner).permit(:name, :password, :password_confirmation)
end
end
You'll also want to look at bcrypt-ruby for protecting your passwords.
Testing
I tend to just test my Rails apps with standard browser functionality.
This means you can run the Rails Server ($ rails s in your console), which you'll then be able to then access through your browser.
You're trying to use this PAW thing, which is okay, but doesn't give you much flexibility in regard to the user-interactivity of the app (for example, submitting real forms etc)...
In your case, I'd do the following:
#app/views/orders/new.html.erb
<%= form_for #order do |f| %>
<%= f.text_field :name %>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
You'd then access lvh.me:3000/orders/new and submit the form. This will show you how it responds!
HTTP
Okay here's the deal with HTTP requests...
Whenever you send a piece of transactional data to your web application, you do it through an HTTP request. HTTP requests are just a way to send data through the "Internet".
With Rails based apps, this means that every time you "do" something in the app, you're really sending an HTTP request to your web server. Rails interprets this request and sends a response. This response is what your question is about.
You're asking about receiving 302 responses - this is the web server's way of saying you've been redirected. It's pretty basic stuff to be honest; your browser handles most of it.
A great tutorial can be found here:
Alright then your error is as follows:
Can't verify CSRF token authenticity
I can elaborate more on this later, but for now, you might want to look up this solution: WARNING: Can't verify CSRF token authenticity in case of API development
