Rails - Nov 2006 - Render 404 Error instead of 500 on ::ActionController::RoutingError

I want to render a 404 whenever ActionController::RoutingError is
thrown in my application.  This works in my apps running the 1.1.6 gem,
but not when running on edge rails or 1.2-RC1.  I suspect it has
something to do with this (from the RoR blog):

"Uncaught exceptions raised anywhere in your application will cause
RAILS_ROOT/public/500.html to be read and shown instead of just the
static "Application error (Rails)." So make it look nice if you
aren''t using it already!"
(http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2006/11/26/1-2-new-in-actionpack)

Anybody have any ideas how to override this for Routing Errors?

Did you ever figure this out?  I want the same thing...404''s instead
of 500''s for routing errors.

Thanks.

Wouldn''t you just use this method in your application controller?

def rescue_action_in_public(exception)
    case exception
        when RoutingError, UnknownAction, ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound then
        render :controller => "application", :action =>
"error_404",
:status => 404
    else
        render :file => "errors/unhandled", :status => 505
    end
end

Also, here''s a blog talking about doing the same thing.

My bad, apparently rescue_action_in_public doesn''t catch 
ActionController::RoutingError. It does catch UnknownAction and 
RecordNotFound...this is interesting and I hope I can figure out how to 
fix it.
