Changing a Rails route based on deployment type

Question

Is there a good way of modifying a route based on the deployment type?

Basically, I have a route that has a :requirements => {:protocol => "https"}, and I'd like that to only happen in production, but not in development.

Answer 1

You can explicitly define them separately and test for the environment

  if Rails.env.production?
    map.resources :purchases, :requirements => {:protocol => "https"}
  else
    map.resources :purchases
  end

Note, if you're on older versions of Rails, use ENV['RAILS_ENV'] == production instead
