Charlie,

I'm afraid I don't understand. How would it know to build /pragmatic/ 
index from {:controller => "pragmatic", :action ="" "index"}, when  
you've connected it to ''? You can't have one route that maps to two  
paths, I'm afraid.

That's what I thought.  I spent quite a long time trying to figure out the long url, but resorted to doing this in my routes. 
 
  map.connect '/pragmatic/', :controller =>  "pragmatic"
  map.connect '', :controller => "pragmatic"

It works, but page caching is now broken with the the url "my_app.com/pragmatic".  When I call url_for(:controller => 'pragmatic') it returns '/pragmatic/' instead of ''.  My plugin works for all controllers now, but if you browse to my_app.com/pragmatic/ you will not receive the cached version.  If I browse to "my_app.com", I do get the cached page.  I'm sure this is caused by my duplication in the routes, but it's a necessary evil that I'll live with to make page expiration easier.  For now I just don't worry about caching "my_app.com/pragmatic/".  My plugin allows me to expire all pages under a particular controller or controller/action combo.  If I allow url_for to return ' ', then my expire method would delete the entire public folder if that is where the cached pages were stored.  That's why I was looking for an easy method that would return the long url.
