There are cases where it'd be nice to be able to set the protocol (for ssl) easily, when you don't have access to the X-FORWARDED-PROTO header, such as in Jamis' post http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2006/10/3/mongrel-ssl-and-apache-1-3 . The current behavior also means ssl_requirement chokes under A

[Rails-core] [PATCH] Move . to optional_separators in Routing?

2007-04-25 Thread Tim Connor
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8187 This nicely supplements yesterday's changeset adding the .:format to the default route: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/6576 as it allows for leaving the trailing dot off if there is a default format. Thus both Rails style and .format style URLS work.

[Rails-core] Re: Should resource_feeder render_rss_feed_for choke on date (instead of datetime) [PATCH]

2007-04-23 Thread Tim Connor
I made a tiny patch (with tests of course) that calls to_time before to_s(:rfc822). This means if pub_date is just a date, not a full datetime, the feed will still be valid. As a side-effect, you get a less cryptic nil error. The patch also fixes a failing test on resource_feeder, at least on m

2007-04-22 Thread Tim Connor
I guess I'll work around it with a lamda and a to_time, for now, but to_s(:rfc822) exists in the rails time extensions, but not the date extensions, so if you try to use a date field for pub_date it chokes. My uncertainty is if to_s(:rfc822) should be added to Date (do a to_time, first?) or if res

I wanted to check on this before submitting a patch - see if I am missing anything. If you have a non resource route (useful, even when doing REST, for supplying a different limited public access to your rest controller, say) you have to add the format to the route yourself, but having "." be in
