>From windows boxes I was having problems with link_to and the :method
=> ''delete''.  In my controller I was then checking for
request.delete?. I have changed this back to :method =>
''post'' and
request.post? and things are working again across all platforms.  I''m
not sure where the problem is but I assume that mongrel is not aware
of how to handle the ''delete'' method as webrick was able to
handle the
request.

Am I missing something?  Am I out of date with something that I need
to get the latest source code on?
