Ahh, information.

Okay, this definitely looks like a bug in the restful\_authentication  
plugin.  
Look at the first comment here:  
[http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/restful\_authentication](http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/restful_authentication)

This seems to have been introduced lately, the last time I used  
restful\_authentication it generated  
redirect\_to :controller =\> ‘/session’, :action =\> ‘new’

## I don’t know if Rick has an official bug tracking site for his plugins (you’d think he’d be using Lighthouse ) so I’ve changed the subject in hopes he might be more likely to read this.
