This will be in Rails 2.0 (and I like / more), so I wanted to get prepared for the change by updating my URLs now. I didn’t want to move to Edge Rails (too exciting for me), so I grabbed the change, dropped it into a source file, and loaded it into my app (thank you, open classes).

If you want to get ready now, grab slash_urls.rb and drop it in your lib directory. At the top of your config/routes.rb, add the line: 

 
require 'slash_urls'

And now all my URLs on NearbyGamers use slashes instead of semicolons. I only had one or two actions on my ActiveResource routes besides the built-in CRUD, so I’m not worried about doing a 301 redirects.
