Hi, I have a question about available characters for url in Rails3. Is it possible to include '.' as identifier of resources?
Background ---------- I want to use title name as identifier instead of id in url path, for example: http://localhost:3000/movies/Avatar And I want to allow '.' to appear in url, such as: http://localhost:3000/movies/Avatar2.0 But it raises ActionController::RoutingError exception. What I did ---------- $ rails --version Rails 3.0.0.beta2 $ rails g scaffold Movie title:string description:string $ rake db:migrate $ vi app/models/movie.rb $ cat app/models/movie.rb class Movie < ActiveRecord::Base def to_param title end end $ rails c irb> Movie.create(:title=>"Avatar", :description=>"3D Movie") I accessed to http://localhost:3000/movies/Avator and page is shown correctly. But when I create another movie with title 'Avator2.0', it causes ActionController::RoutingError. > ActionController::RoutingError in Movies#index > > Showing /Users/kwatch/space/rails/myapp4/app/views/movies/index.html.erb > where line #16 raised: > > No route matches {:controller=>"movies", :action=>"destroy", :id=>#<Movie > id: 2, title: "Avator2.0", description: "Web 2.0 movie", created_at: > "2010-04-16 06:16:39", updated_at: "2010-04-16 06:50:31">} I guess that '.' may cause the error, but I want to allow to use '.' in url. Is it possible to use '.' in url?
