i am having a very weird problem with url\_for…

i have been using this for several version of rails, but recently, i had  
a problem…

it seems as though url\_for is causing the results to be returned in  
lower case…

if there are uppercase letters in the arguments, they result is all  
lower case. obviously, this is a problem as the urls don’t work anymore.

the other oddity is that when i tried to test it, using the console, i  
get the following error:

> > url\_for(:controller =\> ‘site’)  
> > NoMethodError: undefined method `url\_for’ for #Object:0x1de968  
> > from (irb):28  
> > from :0
> 
> >

anyone have any ideas?
