Yes, indeed it behaves precisely like you describe, Iain. (I've tried on a sample app -- one question, where do you define `default_url_options`? I did in ApplicationController.)
Routes like `books_path` or `new_book_path` work perfect, but not any route with params. If this would work, it would be *awesome*, because it's so transparent... I don't know nothing about routing internals as well, so we are in the hands of Destiny on this one? :) Best!, Karel Iain Hecker wrote: > Hi, > > I'm sorry, I forgot all about it...
