I'm building my first custom e-comm application in rails. My catalog
listings are a few directories down from the index page, arrived at
through various sub-category selection. After adding a product to the
cart, I want to redirect to the current url instead of the index. I
don't quite know how to do this. I seems to me that I have to capture
the current url and pass it to the controller action, then redirect to
it. But I could be way off.

Carson, I don't know the answer, but I wonder if you might find it in
Chpt 2 of the excellent The Rails Way.
Ch 2 explains all about the dispatcher, and at p 39 it goes to some
depth about redirecting.

Thanks for the input. I haven't seen "The Rails Way". I've been
through AWDWR and the Pickaxe. I've found the Apress RoR E-Comm book
useful in gaining some production techniques. I need a mid-level how
to book. Let me know if "The Rails Way" is at the top of your list at
this juncture. I have plenty of experience in programming but I'm new
to Rails.
If anyone else has a suggestion, I'd be pleased to hear it.
Regards,
Carson
