I am just learning RESTful design and trying to redesign my application to follow the paradigm, but I am still confused about how to tackle certain things. I have a model called Upload and naturally a controller called UploadsController. Its show action simply uses the send_file method to display an image to the user, but sends the file with a filename different from that which is on the fileserver (this is so all uploaded files can have random filenames on the server yet be sent to users with their original filename). So /uploads/real_filename.jpg/fake_filename.jpg would be the URL. Unfortunately I am having trouble making this work with the upload_path method as it is, since it only takes :id and I need to specify two params, the original filename and the replacement filename. When I try to make my own named route, map.upload, then it ruins the upload_path method for PUT and DELETE. I even tried to just send "real_filename.jpg/fake_filename.jpg" as the id for upload_path and then user the action to split the :id along the forward slash, but unfortunately Rails turns that "/" into the entity "%2F" in the URL, which looks wrong in the browser address bar. Am I misusing my UploadsController''s show method? It seemed appropriate, but being less anal about the whole deal I could use either a different method or a different named route for what I''m trying to achieve. Even still I''m curious as to know if what I''m trying to achieve is even practical and how it could be done. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
