def self.parse_formatted_request_parameters(format, raw_post_data)
  case format
    when :xml
      return XmlSimple.xml_in(raw_post_data, 'ForceArray' => false)
    when :yaml
      return YAML.load(raw_post_data)

rescue Object => e
  { "exception" => "#{e.message} (#{e.class})", "backtrace" => e.backtrace, 
    "raw_post_data" => raw_post_data, "format" => format }
end

.parse_query_parameters(query_string) ⇒ Object

Returns a hash with the pairs from the query string. The implicit hash construction that is done in parse_request_params is not done here.

end

.parse_request_parameters(params) ⇒ Object

Returns the request (POST/GET) parameters in a parsed form where pairs such as “customer[street]” / “Somewhere cool!” are translated into a full hash hierarchy, like { “customer” => { “address” => { “street” => “Somewhere cool!” } } }
