Rails - Dec 2007 - AbstractRequest request methods outside of Application.rb

I''m trying to access methods like request.request_uri and
request.domain
outside of the normal application and view code. How might one access
these with code in /lib?

pass those from your controller into the methods you''re calling.

#------------------
# /controllers/whatever_controller.rb

class WhateverController < ActionController::Base

     @some_var = LibThing.new
     @some_var.some_lib_method(self.request.subdomains)

end

#------------------
# /lib/lib_thing.rb

class LibThing

   def some_lib_method(subdomains)
     # does stuf with request.subdomains here
   end

end

Hey Greg, thanks for the idea. I have tried this and it works well, but 
I''ve run into two problems.


1. I need to call this method about 5-20 times per request, so I''d like
to be able to abstract the value out and not have to pass the same value 
for each call. (The method does take 2 other parameters, so each call is 
different).

2. But the bigger issue is that I''m finding that i need to call the 
"some_lib_method" in "/lib/lib_thing.rb" from other code in
/lib - like
in "/lib/other_lib_thing.rb".


So what I''m wondering is, is there a way to include or require 
ActionController::AbstractRequest or something similar in 
"/lib/lib_thing.rb" so that its methods have direct access to 
request.request_uri and the like?
