For the first time, I’m trying to link to a static page and running  
into a problem…

Here’s the link\_to code:

\<%= link\_to “Terms of Service”, ‘/terms\_of\_service.pdf’, :popup =\>  
true %\>

And here’s the error I’m getting:

no route found to match “/terms\_of\_service.pdf” with {:method=\>:get}

Should be simple and everything I’ve found says to do it this way…  
but, I must be missing something or doing it wrong. Any ideas?
