##
# odd difference between Ruby's AND comparison operators: '&&' and 'and'
##

# with '&&' it will throw an error expecting 'end' after params.include?
if request.post? && request.params.include? 'post_param' then
end

# with 'and' it will work fine and you'll call the day for a beer
if request.post? and request.params.include? 'post_param' then
end

it's why I do use of parenthesis everywhere :)

did you try this?

if request.post? && request.params.include?('post_param') then
end

That would probably work. But the odd thing is the difference between both operators, they should be the same AFAIK

even ruby can be odd sometimes :)
