I'm sure this is easy since rails does this internally, but I need to convert a string of url formatted variables "foo=bar&baz=snoo&why=because" to a hash, and I need to convert a hash to url format.

Now before I roll my own methods to do this, does rails expose this functionality somehow?

Hold it. Why are you doing this in the first place? If it's part of request processing or URL generation, Rails will already do it for you. I'm not sure why you'd need this directly; please explain.

I want to link to '/auth/facebook' with parameters but that path is handled by the omniauth gem and doesn't appear in my routes file.
