Can't use symbols in redirect_to?

Rails
1

when i use something like:

redirect_to :controller => :login, :action => :login

i get an error:
“undefined method `include?’ for :login:Symbol”

is it not possible to use symbols with redirect_to? i thought it was
a rails idiom to use symbols like so.

thanks,
jeff

You can’t use a symbol for just the controller name. They work for the
other params. I don’t know why this is - anybody know?

yeah, i’m a bit confused as to why it’s ok to use symbols in the other
methods but not this one. the inconsistency isn’t very rails…
