However, I did not find the justification for Rails switching from prototype to jQuery convincing. The observer example was not less verbose. I don’t see an advantage of Rails being no longer prototype oriented. I don’t consider using jQuery to be framework agnostic, as it depends on the jQuery framework.

Maybe I am missing that, unlike the prototype support, Rails is decoupled from jQuery, as it does not have jQuery dependent helpers. Maybe that’s it. I was not happy when I first learned Rails that it was prototype dependent. However, once using it, taking it away is a decision I disagree with.

I also disagree that it’s a positive that the jQuery way, forces developers to have a deeper JavaScript knowledge than in the past. There are a number of systems to gloss over JavaScript, gwt, extJS, and jQuery. JavaScript is a little clunky, and the DOM api is definitely clunky.

My hope would be that a JS gloss framework became so popular that it was incorporated natively in browsers. For instance, observers could be added to the JavaScript foundation. Rails selection of prototype, brings prototype almost to a justifiable standard as a candidate for such inclusion. Abandoning prototype, and switching frameworks undermines this hope.

How do I configure things in Rails 3.1 so that http://mysite.com redirects to https://secure.mysite.com?

Specifically, I’m running Rails 3.1 on the Cedar stack on Heroku, using Hostname Based SSL. My SSL certs are set up for secure.mysite.com (and Heroku documents state that you can’t use HTTPS on a TLD anyway). My hunch is that simply calling force_ssl in my ApplicationController won’t have the right effect.

I have registered with google apps and i shall like to know if I delete one email account from 10 free allotted quota, will I be able to reuse it again.
eg – if i have made one account out of 10 and later i delete it, will i get back 10 free accounts again?

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-d
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-f
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-l

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

The mod_rewrite works perfectly. When A user enters randam movie name (name that does not exist in database), for example, http://www.helloworld.com/abcd, I have created a url redirect which is http://www.helloworld.com/oopsmovienotfound.php. This works fine too. But the problem I am having is this: When user click http://www.helloworld.com/login.php .The url keeps looping between login.php and oopsmovienotfound.php OR the url is forwarded to http://www.helloworld.com/oopsmovienotfound.php beacause database doesnot have “login.php” as a movie name. I thought this command

RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-f

should have take care of this but its not. Please help. Thank you in advance.

Cheers

It defeats the purpose as far as I can tell.
