[Nitro] Calculating action path

[Lars Olsson]

Hi list,

I don't know whether there already exists functionality for calculating 
the action path (if so, please tell me where!), bur since I need this 
functionality in certain scenarios i added the following code to the 
request object. Perhaps someone else might find it useful too.

module Nitro
   module Request
     def action_path
       if uri
         offset = uri.include?('?') ? 2 : 1
         uri[0..uri.length - query_string.length - offset].chomp('/')
       else
         ''
       end
     end
   end
end


EXAMPLE
=======
Lets say we have an action that respond to http://server/somedir/myaction

request.action_path will return "/somedir/myaction" in all the following 
scenarios:

http://server/somedir/myaction
http://server/somedir/myaction/
http://server/somedir/myaction?one=1&two=2&three=3
http://server/somedir/myaction/foo
http://server/somedir/myaction/foo?one=1&two=2&three=3
http://server/somedir/myaction/foo/bar
http://server/somedir/myaction/foo/bar?one=1&two=2&three=3
and so on...

Improvements are most welcome.

Sincerely
