Rails - Apr 2005 - url munging...

For lack of a better subject...

I''ve been playing around with rails and have a question...

( url that points to basic info on this would suit me just fine ).

for the application that i''m planning on trying out in rails we write
information into the url...

for a mostly bogus example...

/s-test/customer/view

would be the url

we need to of course send to /customer/view

but have said code have access to s-test part of the url.

our current implementation is in mod-perl

and we use apache''s location to route to the proper handler

but the url is first parsed in an earlier stage and the s-test
information is stored as part of the request for  handler to have access to
various components...

what is the best way to accomplish this in rails...

i''d be interested in solutions for both webrick and apache...

thanks for your help.

I guess you need to know routing in RoR

http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/65

If I got it right :-)
