Read query parameter from a Twilio post request

I have a simple web application using twilio and sinatra.

Here it is:

# Responds to POSTs to http://yourapp.com/call
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'

post '/call' do
    to = params[:To]
    puts to
    "<Response><Say>Congratulations! You got through</Say></Response>"
end

The call gets through, but the "to" field that twilio sends in its request as a query parameter is not read. What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

Try accessing the params hash with a stringified key. e.g.

to = params['To']

In Rails using a symbol would work because Rails extends the Rack params hash to have indifferent access. So in Rails, the following is true.

params['To'] == params[:To]

This can cause confusion when using other Rack frameworks.

Hope this helps.
