The problem is basically this: Sometimes you want to reference static files, and other components of your site. I have a Gallery app mounted at http://creativepony.com/gallery/ and it causes me all sorts of trouble. Often times to reference static files I end up needing to use /../ in URLs inside of views and controllers, which webservers surprisingly correctly translate in to the wanted files, most of the time. Other times I want to reference other camping apps mounted in the same server instance via a rack URLMap.
I know as I say this someone will paste a function I can redefine with some boggling ultracompressed camping code inside, where every variable is a letter - but I have work arounds which work. The trouble is that hacking about like this just isn't fun. In my opinion Camping needs in it's core static file serving, catchall before/after methods for controllers, and I have no idea how, but we need to fix the insanity which is the (self / arg) thing being applied to all src and href values in markaby templates. It's a great idea and I love it when it works, but it's so often a leaky abstraction for me, and when it leaks, there's no clear solution! — Jenna On Thursday, 12 April 2012 at 11:35 PM, Dave Everitt wrote: > In another post, Jenna said: "I have some trouble with Camping's URL > mapping system - so much so I'm considering sinatra for my next ruby > web project" > > I just wanted to know what the trouble was, and if/how it might/could/ > can't be addressed, so started a new thread. > > DaveE > > _______________________________________________ > Camping-list mailing list > Camping-list@rubyforge.org (mailto:Camping-list@rubyforge.org) > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list > >
