Controller methods

I am not clear on what makes a controller method available as an URL.
More
specifically, I’m not clear on how to prevent methods from being
available
as URLs.

I am working on a simple web API framework (home-rolled rather
than SOAP or XML-RPC) that provides little more than a high-level
messaging
system between JavaScript and Rails. My ApplicationController will
implement the only methods that should be available via HTTP, but the
other
controllers will need to implement methods that the HTTP-accessible
methods
will call. Is it as simple as making the separate controllers’ methods
all
protected and private?

Yes, I think ‘private’ methods are not reachable by a URL.
