Matt, i was only proposing to parse the URL slightly differently, probably without impact for existing applications. I am already using both "csv" and "csv.zip" formats in my application (mostly for testing and experimenting), i only do not like that i have to access "csv.zip" like this: "/users.csv_zip". - Alexey. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
