Instance Method Details

#call(env) ⇒ Object

Proxies the request to the application, stripping out the JSON-P callback method and padding the response with the appropriate callback format.

Changes nothing if no callback param is specified.

def call(env)
  status, headers, response = @app.call(env)
  request = Rack::Request.new(env)
  if request.params.include?('callback')
    response = pad(request.params.delete('callback'), response)
    headers['Content-Length'] = response.length.to_s
  end
  [status, headers, response]
end

#pad(callback, response, body = "") ⇒ Object

Pads the response with the appropriate callback format according to the JSON-P spec/requirements.

The Rack response spec indicates that it should be enumerable. The method of combining all of the data into a single string makes sense since JSON is returned as a full string.

def pad(callback, response, body = "")

  "#{callback}(#{body})"
