How to generate this URL

I'm stumped trying to generate an URL for a working route. I've this route definition:

  map.connect 'foo/:foo_id/propose_something/:zap_id',               :controller => "foo",               :action => "propose_something"

When I browse to this url: http://localhost:3000/foo/2/propose_something/5, my propose_something method gets invoked with the correct params hash. So one would think that all is good, but I'm stuck trying to generate the corresponding URL to pass to link_to.

I would think that this would do it: url_for(:controller => "foo", :action => 'propose_something', :foo_id => 1, :zap_id => 13)

But this generates this URL: http://localhost:3000/foo/propose_something?foo_id=1&zap_id=13

To work around this, I've constructed the string manually, but that feels nasty in all sorts of ways...

Can someone point out what the heck I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, east
