[LRUG] FW: Redirects on heroku

[John Beynon]

this what we do (off live Heroku app) for something similar (without the
requested path being passed through) I guess it could be modified to pass
the requested path pretty easily though;

application controller;

before_filter { |c| ensure_domain if Rails.env =='production' }

  def ensure_domain
    if request.env['HTTP_HOST'] != TheDomain
      redirect_to 'http://' + TheDomain
    end
  end


and then have the domain set in the production.rb

TheDomain = 'www.greatlittleideas.com'

i think we too followed the Heroku guide and came across the behaviour you
are seeing too so tweaked it slightly.
