OK, A while back (pre 1.2, if I remember correctly), putting a slash

articles/edit/1?test=1, the following code would produce a link to /
articles/edit/1:
Thanks for the reply, Kevin - unfortunately, it's not what I need, and
the docs do seem to verify that the bug is valid (thanks for the
link). To quote the docs:
There are a few simple rules on how this is performed:
* If the controller name begins with a slash, no defaults are
used: url_for :controller => '/home'
* If the controller changes, the action will default to index
unless provided
It seems that the bug report needs to be reopened. Ah well.
