You should look at how mod_rewrite can inject HTTP headers. This is commonly used when you have to translate to a different Host string, but you can really inject any HTTP header you want. On the Rails side it should show up as a capitalized version like this: X-MyBrother-Is-Jim => X_MYBROTHER_IS_JIM And will be in the request hash like all the other parameters you can get. Key thing is to not put this in the request string (like you said). -- Zed A.
