Hi, in administrator module I have a POST request from client that contains the information about root password and mail aliases. Sometimes I would like to pass an empty value (for mail aliases, to reset it to no alias) and to distinguish the empty value from nil (nil has a meaning do not try to save this, while empty means save empty).
Rails will not let you :-( at least for hash values.
And even REST does not define this afaik. The payload for a POST request usually contains the complete instance (i.e. all attributes). The distinction of 'nil' (no change) vs. 'empty' (write empty value) is usually done on the service side, comparing the new with the current value and only writing changes.
