Route Information

Rails

Is there a method to return a hash of the route configuration based on
a path?

For example:

magic_method(’/my_controller/my_action/my_id’)
=>
{:controller => ‘my_controller’, :action => ‘my_action’, :id =>
‘my_id’}

Thanks!
Tom

recognize_path(’/my_controller/my_action/my_id’)

Excellent! That is exactly what I am looking for except I can’t seem to
figure out how to call the method.
From an IRB console:

ActionController::Routing::RouteSet.recognize_path
(’/my_controller/my_action/my_id’)
NoMethodError: undefined method `recognize_path’ for
ActionController::Routing::RouteSet:Class

I am running Rails 1.2.5 if that matters.

Thanks!
