I'm bumping this and asking for someone (anyone really) to give me
some feedback on whether this would be acceptable syntax for allowing
for fallback with redirect_to :back.
redirect_to :back, :controller => 'alternative_controller',
:action =>'alt_action'
redirect_to :back, 'http://alternative.url.test.host/blah'
If this is something that shouldn't be in the core at all, someone
atleast respond and tell me so. Regardless, I think the first half of
the patch (throwing a helpful exception is there is no request.env and
redirect_to :back is called) should be included.
I've added my latest diff to the ticket
[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/3049] and included docs.
