# /abs -> http://myx.com/abs
def path_to_url(path)
"http://#{request.host_with_port_without_standard_port_handling}/#{path.sub(%r[^/],'')}"
end

Hmn,
url_for for full path didn’t do the job?

nope, not enough when you got /xy/something (for example an image) and want to generate the url for it
url_for(’/path’) only generates ‘/path’ kind of disappointing
