trapping and redirecting URL's for login mechanisms

The wiki.rubyonrails.org isn't functioning for me at this time...

I am thinking in terms of expiring sessions much more frequently which would cause a user logout which creates all sorts of issues - the main one being that if they think they are connected and their session expired, they are sent back to the login screen but that redirects them to another page. I am looking for flexibility here...in other words, let them go back to where they were headed when they were asked to log in again.

Rather than dump my confused mess on this list (which I might have to do), is there any links / samples that can give me ideas on this?
