Re: How to tell if a site is implemented in Rails/Ruby
There''s no way to know for sure, but the urls are going to be your biggest giveaway. If you see something/that/looks/like/this/in/the/url it''s probably rails. Or, if you see: blah.com/articles/show/345 it''s probably rails.

Hard to tell if it''s a Rails site. There are few artifacts of the underlying bare metal cluttering up the URLs. That''s a good thing. One thing you might try is running the "Web 2.0" validator on a site. It''s far from perfect (gets one out of 4 of my Rails sites correct) but it''s a start. http://web2.0validator.com/ Another thing to look for is the inclusion of the prototype JavaScript libraries. They are certainly not constrained to Rails but they are so easy to use in Rails that many if not most Rails apps do include them. A final thing to try is to find out the server software. If it''s Mongrel, it''s probably Rails. If it''s lighttpd, there''s some chance that it''s Rails. If it''s Apache, there''s a chance but lower than if it''s lighttpd (that''s just what I think), and if it''s IIS, it''s possible but unlikely that it''s Rails. Hope this is of use to you.

Re: How to tell if a site is implemented in Rails/Ruby
Lines like this in config/routes.rb might mislead the curious visitor: map.connect "index.php", :controller => "main", :action => ''index'' map.connect "index.jsp", :controller => "main", :action => ''index'' Stephan Jason Vogel wrote:> Hey, > > Is there a way to even tell if a site is implemented in Rails/Ruby. > You know .JSP (Java Server Pages), ... > > Jason-- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

What I always do is check the image/stylesheet/javascript urls. Not only will they probably be in the default Rails directories, they''ll be timestamped. Philip''s idea is better, though. - Nathan On Nov 15, 6:50 pm, Philip Hallstrom <r...-SUcgGwS4C16SUMMaM/qcSw@public.gmane.org> wrote:> http://domain.com/images/rails.png > > exists :) > > I know it does on our site simply because we''ve never removed it. > > :)--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: How to tell if a site is implemented in Rails/Ruby
Another possibility is to look at form submission error messages. Rails error messages are mostly fine, but still just a tiny little bit off so that they are recognizable.
