Rails - Oct 2005 - HEAD requests failing in base.rb

hi all, 

perform_action needs complete_request_uri to complete, but the
request.host is nil on HEAD requests.  This causes my app to send a
500 or a 404.  

cannot convert nil into String
usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.9.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:807:in
`+''

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.9.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:807:in
`complete_request_uri''

It''s tempting to change request.host to (request.host ||
''default'')
or something, but I don''t know how the data from complete_request_uri
is used.  What''s the appropriate fix?

This is fixed in the beta gems.
