I’m looking for something that has similar functionality to the  
caches\_page directive provided by rails but that caches a seperate based  
on the params that are passed into the request. For example if I have a  
request [http://www.foo.com/mycontroller?id=1](http://www.foo.com/mycontroller?id=1) and a request  
[http://www.foo.com/mycontroller?id=2](http://www.foo.com/mycontroller?id=2) I’d like a seperate cache for each  
of those requests. Based on my experimentation with caches\_page it  
looks like all I get by default is a cache for the first of those 2  
requests that is called.

Ideas? Is there a simple way for caches\_page to take into account the  
params that are passed in?

That is assuming you haven’t deleted this line from the end of your  
config/routes.rb:

```
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'

```
