i've got the latest ruby and rails on this box and am seeing that image_tag
will turn something like

  /foo/bar.jpg

into

  /foo/foo/bar.jpg

in the following situation:

  /ror/foo/public

  /var/www/html/foo -> /var/ror/foo/public/

  image_tag("/foo/bar.jpg")

this is exactly how compute_public_path is written to work:

  def compute_public_path(source, dir, ext)
    source = "/#{dir}/#{source}" unless source.first == "/" || 
source.include?(":")
    source = "#{source}.#{ext}" unless source.include?(".")
    source = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" unless %r{^[-a-z]+://} =~ source
    source = ActionController::Base.asset_host + source unless 
source.include?(":")
    source
  end

can this be correct?  in this line

  source = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" unless %r{^[-a-z]+://} =~ source

we'll take the url

  /foo/bar.jpg

and prepend /foo onto it again, even though it's already an absolute url.  in
trying to create a patch i'd like to understand the logic here.

??

the code that's already adding /foo is the filecolumn plugin (using
@request.relative_url_root) - which is in error: rails or the plugin?

should urls with relative_url_root already prepended be smoothly handled by
rails and not added to again, or is the plugin in error by prepending
something that rails will anyhow?


??


regards.
