Hello Rails Gurus,
  
  I have spent the entire night trying to figure this out with no luck. I will really appreciate if someone can come to my rescue.
  
  I have a URL like the following:
  
  http://domain.com/resource/http://www.rubyonrails.org
  
  and would like to capture the rubyonrails URL after the http://domain.com/resource/ part in a variable.
  
  I tried something like
  
  map.connect 'resource/:protocol//:link' ....
  
  but since I cannot accurately predict the number of forward slashes involved, I cannot hard code the route.
  
  Is there any way I can tell in routes.rb  to capture everything after "resource/" part and store it in a variable?
  
  I highly appreciate your assistance.
  
  Frank
