If your url looks like this: localhost:3000/Accounts/1/edit?value1=A&value2=B and you want to put those in text boxes you must create some instance variables in the controller, and then reference them in the view.

Controller Action:

def edit
   @value1 = params[:value1]
   @value2 = params[:value2]
end

View:

<%= text_box_tag :value1, @value1 %>
<%= text_box_tag :value2, @value2 %>

If you followed my example, the first text box would display A and the second B.

Note that the webserver has no effect on this behavior. webrick, apache, mongrel, thin, etc... will all do this.
