OK ROROers, here's the update:
Adding a line like:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'foo.com/bar' }
to config/environments/<environment_name>.rb WILL properly generate urls in
my mailers like http://foo.com/bar/sign_in as we all suspected.
BUT, as I suspected, this is only a coincidentally workable solution
because, if you add the :port option to the config, like this:
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { :host => 'foo.com/bar', :port
=> 8080 }
then you get urls like http://foo.com/bar:8080/sign_in which is, of
course, totally not right.
So, I'm lucky that I don't need to specify a port, because the former option
above will coincidentally work for me in my case, but it feels like a
brittle half-solution in light of the port issue. My guess is that I'd need
to monkey patch url_for to accept a :subdomain option, and pass that in when
I call #sign_in_url in my mailer code.
Anyone else have any thoughts to add?
