ActionController::MethodNotAllowed after reloading routes?

Question

I have an application where I'm dynamically loading routes by a model, and calling ActionController::Routing::Routes.reload! after creating/updating that model. The problem is that after doing this, I'm receiving the following error when I try to hit that new route:

ActionController::MethodNotAllowed
Only get, head, post, put, and delete requests are allowed.

What's really odd is that the request has no parameters, and the response headers are {"cookie"=>[], "Allow"=>"GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE", "Cache-Control"=>"no-cache"}

All this even though the request is definitely GET (according to Firebug) and according to the response GET is certainly allowed.

I'm using Rails 2.1.0 and Mongrel 1.1.5 (after googling, I noticed some have problems with older versions).

Anyone have thoughts?

Answer 1

Apparently this was a bug in Rails 2.1.0. Upgrading to Rails 2.2.1 fixed the problem.

Answer 2

如果您不希望使用2.2破坏您的网站，则升级到2.1.2也可以解决此问题。
