Rails - May 2007 - How to get options from a URL string?

Hello,

I have some non-REST named routes, e.g. home_url, to hook up a couple  
of static pages on my otherwise RESTful site.

I would like to use link_to_unless_current or current_page? but the  
problem is those methods take an options hash rather than a url  
string as generated by, say, home_url.

What''s the best way to reverse-engineer a URL into an options hash?   
I know you can use hash_for_xxx for a RESTful route but that doesn''t  
work with non-RESTful routes.

Thanks and regards,
Andy Stewart

Just to tidy up loose ends, it turns out that the documentation is  
wrong and link_to_unless_current and current_page? can both take a  
url string.
