u want to “create” that image on the fly using the url?

in any case, i suggest u start by making a named route in routes.rb

map.image\_url “/images/image\_creation/slash/:image\_name”, :controller  
=\> “images”, :action =\> “create”

Not sure if thats what you want cos not really able to understand ur  
requirement. But hope it gets u started.
