[Rails] Re: Using register_template_handler to serve CSS files (Making ActionView handle .css as .rhtml)

[Iván Vega Rivera]

Thanks Alain, it looks very interesting, specially the server-side 
constants, which are something that I was looking to implement using 
plain old  erb code.

However, since you mention some problems with it, I'll just keep an eye 
on it for future usage. Right now, I went with this:

        tpl = ''
        File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/styles/#{params['cssfile']}") 
do |css|
            while line = css.gets
                tpl += line
            end
        end
        render_template tpl

Regards,
Ivan V.
