In my routes.rb, I have  
map.all\_product\_feed ‘/feed.rss’, :controller =\> ‘product’, :action =\>  
‘rss’

in my ProductController, I use action cache:  
caches\_action :rss

if I access [http://localtest.com/product/rss](http://localtest.com/product/rss), the log shows that the  
action is cached as [localtest.com/feed.rss](http://localtest.com/feed.rss)

but when I access [http://localtest.com/feed.rss](http://localtest.com/feed.rss), the log shows that the  
action is cached as [localtest.com/feed.rss.rss](http://localtest.com/feed.rss.rss).

when I edit a product which causes a cache sweeper to run, only the  
cache [localtest.com/products.rss](http://localtest.com/products.rss) got deleted.

so I am getting stale data when accessing [http://localtest.com/feed.rss](http://localtest.com/feed.rss).

Is there a way to control the cache path/key?

Is this a bug in rails where an extra “.rss” is appended?

Thanks.
