I have a simple class that I want to install as Rails Metal. I don't
want to put it into a file in app/metal for reasons I don't want to go
into. It looks like this, and handler is defined elsewhere.

class UrlFilter
  ALLOW = [404]
  DENY = [403]
  def self.call(env)
    handler.call(env["PATH_INFO"]) ? ALLOW : DENY
  end
end

I've tried installing it like this :
ActionController::Dispatcher.middleware.use UrlFilter

but on the first request it crashes with :

The rails calling code looks like this :

      def klass
        if @klass.respond_to?(:call)
          @klass.call
        elsif @klass.is_a?(Class)
          @klass
        else
          @klass.to_s.constantize
        end
      rescue NameError
        @klass
      end

      def active?
        return false unless klass

        if @conditional.respond_to?(:call)
          @conditional.call
        else
          @conditional
        end
      end

Notice when calling call no arguments are passed (twice!) ? Every metal
example I've seen defines the entry method as

  def self.call(env)

yet this calling code doesn't pass any.

Whats going on ? How do I define and install a metal class in code ?
