Hi everyone

I have a strange routing behavior. And I don’t know when it started  
being.  
I have a form for image upload using attachment\_fu. The code in the view  
is

\<% form\_for(:image, :url =\> “/images/create”, :html =\> { :multipart =\>  
true }) do |form| %\>

\<%= form.file\_field :uploaded\_data, :size =\> 15, :class =\> “formLoader”  
%\>

\<% end %\>

and the controller code is

def create  
# Used by start/index  
@image = Image.new(params[:image])  
@image.kwiker\_id = session[:kwiker]  
if @image.save  
redirect\_to(‘/grusskarten/deinenachricht/’ + @image.id.to\_s)  
else  
flash[:error] = ‘Das Bild konnte nicht hochgeladen werden.’  
redirect\_to(:controller =\> ‘start’)  
end  
end

so it should route me to /grusskarten/deinenachricht/  
if succesful. But I run into a 404 error. The prod.log says

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound (Couldn’t find Image with ID=create):

Why does he routes me to ImagesController and action =\> show???  
It happens only on my production server.

I have it! It was because of

# protected

# def ssl\_required?

# ENV[“RAILS\_ENV”] == “production”

# end

in the image controller. But why?
