Couldn't you use a cookie and map, rather than URLs? Sounds like users could end up on different rails back ends unintentionally based on what URL they use, with your method...

As I explained in the post, that's the intended behaviour.

We want to allow our users to enable beta version for all visitors to their Mixlr page, not just for themselves.

But a cookie approach would be easy too - see my other comment for a simple example.


ah, I see. I guess I didn't quite understand the product enough. Neat idea, and thanks for clearing that up.

However I wonder if map is faster than using lua just for cookies. I'll have to test it. :)
