Hi,

Can I use mongrel for ? Preprocessing an url ?

What I need todo is :  
1- When a user connect to an Specific url.  
2- Connect to a site an other site with login  
3- And redirect this user to the site on step 2

Any advice will be nice 😉

W.

Mongrel is an application container, so you are looking at the wrong  
level.  
Yes, you can do what you are asking with a handler that you register in  
Mongrel, or with a Rails/Merb/whatever application that Mongrel runs.

To find out how to do what you want, look in web developer forums. Good  
luck!
