I have a search form that generates ugly but functional urls.The
controller takes nested parameters from the url like program
[program_id], or program[leader][leader_id].

 So I'm trying to create a named route to make certain pre-defined
searches easier for customers to embed in their own pages.

So instead of

     "https://ourdomain.com/search?program[leader_id]=12345";

Id like to have

     "https://ourdomain.com/leader/12345";

The problem is that a named Rails route won't accept a complex symbol
in the path definition:

     map.leader     'leader/:program[leader_id]'

fails due to the brackets in parameter name symbol. Even properly
defining the symbol as

     map.leader     "leader/:'program[leader_id]'"

fails. Rails just won't recognize anything other than a downcase
single word.

... and I'm not in a position to change how the controller works or
redefine the expected incoming parameters.



Thoughts or suggestions or workarounds?

Thanks,
Bill
