public urls

[The Net Duck]

HI

I was trying to find a method that would return a public url for stuff
and couldn't find one. I'm working with a mobile app and have the need
to include my hostname in my url. I was thinking of creating a module
that would allow you to do something like

image.url(:host => true)

so that there would be the option to include the host however I didn't
want to do that unless people felt like it was needed. I can always
accomplish the same task with something like

root_url + image.url

so I thought I would post this up here and see if you guys are
interested in something like this. I've been wanted to contribute to
some projects so would be more than happy figuring it out.

Which storage method are you using?

The tricky problem with this is that you need access to the request
object to generate the full URL. Since CarrierWave only works on the
model layer, you won't be able to get at the request object. I'd
create a view helper or something like that for this.
