# The URL is generated from the remaining keys in the hash. A URL contains two key parts: the <base> and a query string.
# Routes composes a query string as the key/value pairs not included in the <base>.
#
# The default Routes setup supports a typical Rails path of "controller/action/id" where action and id are optional, with
# action defaulting to 'index' when not given. Here are some typical url_for statements and their corresponding URLs:
- #  
- # url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'recent' # => 'proto://host.com/posts/recent'
- # url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'index' # => 'proto://host.com/posts'
- # url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => 10 # => 'proto://host.com/posts/show/10'
- # url_for :controller => 'posts', :user => 'd', :password => '123' # => 'proto://d:123@host.com/posts'
+ #
+ # url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'recent' # => 'proto://host.com/posts/recent'
+ # url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'index' # => 'proto://host.com/posts'
+ # url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'index', :port=>'8033' # => 'proto://host.com:8033/posts'
+ # url_for :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => 10 # => 'proto://host.com/posts/show/10'
+ # url_for :controller => 'posts', :user => 'd', :password => '123' # => 'proto://d:123@host.com/posts'
#
# When generating a new URL, missing values may be filled in from the current request's parameters. For example,
# <tt>url_for :action => 'some_action'</tt> will retain the current controller, as expected. This behavior extends to
