According to the standard encoding rules for URIs (and often applied in front-end web servers or intermediary proxies), '+' would get mapped to a space character ... likely not what you really wanted. Of course, the initial Rails use of ';' for this was problematic as well, since that character is reserved for delimiting the start of path parameters (specific to a path element in between slashes, as opposed to request parameters that come after a '?' character). Personally, I think the current edge approach (using a '/') is the best alternative with current browsers. > ::Jack Danger Craig McClanahan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
