Ahh, information.

Okay, this definitely looks like a bug in the restful_authentication plugin.
Look at the first comment here:
http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/restful_authentication

This seems to have been introduced lately, the last time I used
restful_authentication it generated
          redirect_to :controller => ''/session'', :action
=> ''new''

I don''t know if Rick has an official bug tracking site for his plugins
(you''d think he''d be using Lighthouse <G>) so
I''ve changed the subject
in hopes he might be more likely to read this.
