Restricting http method on "normal" routes

How can I ensure a certain "normal" route (not
generated by
map.resources) uses only GET (or POST) for that matter?

I know I can do this from the controller, as "in the
old days" when
one checked that people where only POSTing to your create
actions. But
is there any way to do it from the Route map directly?
(since in my
mind that's where it makes the more sense to put that
information)

I'm almost certain I saw on #rubyonrails an example of this
a few days
ago, but I asked there and no one answered though, so I
don't know :-/

Something like http://pastie.caboo.se/9
2285

Why I'm not using :collection on map.resources, you might
ask? Well, I
want to use the auto_completer helpers, *and* I like
"nice" URIs, so I
want to have "/characters/find", but :collection
=>
{ :auto_complete_for_character_name => :get } would give
me "/
characters/auto_complete...." which is undesirable.

Thanks,
-Nicolas

I wasn't that far, someone on #rubyonrails finally answered


:conditions => { :method => :get }
