Is it possible to write map.connect rules in route.rb  
that externally redirect (HTTP 302) to other actions?

thanks

Yep, I thought of that ;). I was just curious if  
something like this was possible:

map.connect ‘/a/:b’, redirect\_to :controller=\>‘c’,  
:action=\>‘d’

Well you could have action that does it for you. Just map what you  
want the action and have that do the redirect. Would that cover what  
you need? The user would still see the same effect as they don’t see  
anything happening with the mapping rules themselves.
