Hi,

This may seem to be a trivial issue, but I need some help to solve this.

I am trying to query salesforce Contact entity using REST api from a RoR application.

I am able to retrieve all the Contact entities information  successfully when I only use a simple select query like:

@uri.get({:q => 'select id, firstname, lastname from Contact'}, headers) do |callback|
      callback.on_ok do |response|
        self.replace(response.deserialise['records'].map do |contact|
          Contact.new(@salesforce_session,
            'FirstName' => contact["FirstName"], 'LastName' => contact["LastName"], 'Id' => contact["Id"]
          )
        end)
      end

But, I am getting a 400 Bad Request error when using the where clause with the above statement:

@uri.get({:q => 'select id, firstname, lastname from Contact where email = "naveen@gmail.com"'}, headers) do |callback|
      callback.on_ok do |response|
        puts "******************* Printing Response ********************"
        puts response.inspect
        self.replace(response.deserialise['records'].map do |contact|
          Contact.new(@salesforce_session,
            'FirstName' => contact["FirstName"], 'LastName' => contact["LastName"], 'Id' => contact["Id"]
          )
        end)
      end

LOG:

Loading details by email id........
<- (GET -3363550491 -217275911) https://ap1.salesforce.com:443/services/data/v20.0/query?q=select+id%2C+firstname%2C+lastname+from+Contact+where+email+%3D+%22naveen%40gmail.com%22
-> (GET -3363550491 -217275911) 400 Bad Request (230 bytes 2.15s)

 I understand that there is something wrong in the Request used to query salesforce. How do I ensure that the request format is correct while using a 'WHERE' clause.

Thank You,
