I’m trying to use nested resources to generate links to the responses  
that exist in this category.

Instead of:  
[http://localhost:3000/categories/4/responses/4/edit](http://localhost:3000/categories/4/responses/4/edit)  
It generates this:  
[http://localhost:3000/categories/4%2F5/responses/4/edit](http://localhost:3000/categories/4%2F5/responses/4/edit)

See that extra URL Encoded slash 5 (%2F5=/5)? Why is that showing up?

Here’s my code:

 \<% unless @category.responses.empty? %\> \<% @category.responses.each do |response| %\> - \<%= link\_to response.name, edit\_category\_response\_path([@category,response]) %\>
 \<% end %\> \<% end %\>

Okay. I got it. Apparently one shouldn’t pass the parameters as an  
array like in form\_for:

edit\_category\_response\_path(@category,response)
