Incompatibility between 1.1.6 and 1.2 routing

Hi!

I just realized that edge ruby (1.2.2) breaks my routes. :id does not include periods (".") any more, in favour of allowing :id.:format.

How can I create the old behevior, i.e. a route, so that "/controller/ action/abc.jpg" returns "abc.jpg" in a single argument (:id)? "/:controller/:action/:id" does not work as expected and returns :id = "abc".

Thanks

Martin

I'm sure there's a more Ruby-like way of doing this but I just modified the source code directly.

In rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/routing.rb you'll see this:

   module Routing      SEPARATORS = %w( / ; . , ? )

Just take out the "."

map.load_post_image 'news/load_image/:id/:file_name', :controller => 'news', :action => 'load_image',        :requirements => { :file_name => /.*/ }
