[Rails] Re: routes question [Catching URL in a variable]

[softwareengineer 99]

Thanks for the reply. The URL is legal, see:
  http://technorati.com/search/http://www.google.com
  
  The funny thing is when I encode the URL, Apache doesn't pass the  request to dispatcher.fcgi. For unencoded URLs the request gets passed  perfectly and the only issue is how to determine the number of slashed  (nearly impossible).
  
  So it means we cannot tell Rails via routes.rb that to catch everything  after a certain string in a variable,  unles its encoded.
  
  Thank you very much for your replies.
