how to serialize AMF body and send it with Ruby RocketAMF

Question

I am trying to serialized an AMF body and send it with RestClient.post.

From the Charles proxy, I can deserialized my request body and show it as follows:

# s is the raw binary from request body
pp RocketAMF::Envelope.new.populate_from_stream(s).messages

However, I cannot figure it out how to serialize such an object and send it (with RestClient.post) in the body.

You'll want to change the URL it's using, but the below is the correct way to do it.

require 'rubygems'
require 'RocketAMF'
require 'rest-client'

data = [] # whatever data you want
env = RocketAMF::Envelope.new :amf_version => 3
env.messages << RocketAMF::Message.new('BatchController.authenticate_iphone', '/1', data)
res = RestClient.post "http://localhost:9292/amf", env.to_s, :content_type => 'application/x-amf'
puts RocketAMF::Envelope.new.populate_from_stream(res).inspect
