Rails - Jun 2008 - link_to problem with '.' in :id parameter (must be escaped!)

Hi,

I have this very normal link_to call:

<%= link_to name, tag_path(name) %>

The ''name'' can be something like "ASP.NET". That
results in a URL like
  http://localhost:3000/tag/ASP.NET

The Problem: I get a "no route" for this URL. I have a route
  map.tag ''/tag/:id'', :controller =>
''items'', :action => ''tag''

Everything would be fine IF I could just escape the dot to "%2E", so
that the URL is something like
  http://localhost:3000/tag/ASP%2ENET

PROBLEM: link_to doesnt''t do it, and when I do it myself the
"%" is
escaped, so that it looks like
  http://localhost:3000/tag/ASP%252EENET


Any advice?

TIA,
Michael

Well, I solved it with this line:

<%= link_to name,
''/tag/''+name.gsub(''.'',''%2E''),
:class => css_class %>
