Looks like one just has to hack at the route definition to get this to work fine.
There's a (translated from chinese) article about this : http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://jack.lifegoo.com/%3Fp%3D159&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Drails%2Brouting%2Bdots%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DyBo This page http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToRouteGenericURLsToAControllerbetter specifies how one could specify the name of a tag that could include dots. You'd have to be careful that one could still use the convention of specifying the format of the result at the end of the url though like /todo/tag/release1.5.xml or /todo/tag/release1.5.js On Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 8:51 AM, Reinier Balt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > In ticket 655 (http://dev.rousette.org.uk/ticket/655) there is a > report that tracks cannot handle tags with a dot in it.
