Added XML attributes dropped by Rails?

echo '<request><item attribute="foo">bar</item></request>' | curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/xml' -d @- http://10.0.1.51:3000/baz/evaluate

My Rails application forgets all about the attribute when it receives the hosted XML.

Processing BazController#evaluate (for 10.0.1.3 at 2009-10-03 18:29:32) [POST]
  Parameters: {"request"=>{"item"=>"bar"}}

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Considering Hash.from_xml

you're not very smart, you might want to try grabbing the raw XML before Rails goes with it. From the controller, you can do request.raw_post

. I think you will get what you want, although there is another similar method that may be better suited. Once you get the raw XML, you can parse it yourself.

Hrm ... I think this Rails ticket with the associated patch is relevant to this issue.
