Arbitrary number of parameters in route

Reported by Kai Schlichting | April 16th, 2008 @ 11:24 AM | in 0.9.4

There should be support for routing urls with a dynamic part for parameters. E.g., routes like in rails (/myresource/:id/*path_info) would be very nice to have urls like /myresource/5/foo/bar with request.path_info == "foo/bar" in controller.

My current workaround isn't nice because I'm having URLs like /myresource/5/foo&bar with routing /myresource/:id/:parameters.

That's why i request for any solution to handle arbitrary number of parameters in routes

    Merb's routing already does what you want using regular expressions.

    r.match(%r[^/myresource/([0-9]+)/(.+)]).to(:controller => "myresources", :id => "[1]", :parameters => "[2]", :action => "show")

    /myresource/5/foo/bar

    params[:id] == "5"

    params[:parameters] == "foo/bar"
