Rails - Jun 2007 - Route Regex Requirement not working properly

I''m trying to get my routes to work properly.  Here''s how
I''m defining
one of my routes:

map.downloads '':category/downloads'', :controller =>
''downloads'', :action
=> ''list_downloads_for_category'', :requirements =>
{:category =>
DownloadableFileCategory.category_regex}

And here''s the method definition for
DownloadableFileCategory.category_regex:

def self.category_regex
    regex_str = ""
    for category in DownloadableFileCategory.find(:all)
      regex_str += category.category.downcase
      regex_str += "|"
    end

    Regexp.new(regex_str.chop, Regexp::IGNORECASE)
end

This creates a regex such as /admissions|jobs/i so that the url
/admissions/downloads maps to the list_downloads_for_category method
with params[:category] = "admissions" and /jobs/downloads maps to the
same method with params[:category] = "jobs".  That part works
correctly.

The part that''s not working is the Regexp::IGNORECASE option.  URLS
such
as "/Admissions/downloads", "/ADMISSIONS/downloads" do not
match this
route even though I''ve set the regex to ignore case.  I tried testing
just the regex in script/console and it worked just fine.  It just
doesn''t work when trying to match the URL.

Why doesn''t this work?

Thanks,
Myron

try

map.admissions ''admissions/downloads'', controller =>
''admissions''

before you define the stuff you just defined.
