In Ruby on Rails routing (using route.rb), can it say, for any URL  
having the form:

```
www.example.com/ ... #! ...

```

then use controller `redirect` ?

This is so that in AJAX, some page can tag the `#!` at the end of URL so  
that the real content of interest is the part after the `#!`

Site\_url = [www.example.com](http://www.example.com)  
redirected\_to #{site\_url}

or directly in routes.rb can work a bit you have to google
