The solution to that would...
I've been looking all over the place for a simple input validation library for Ruby. Everything seems to point towards ActiveRecord (or similar). I'm not using Rails, I'm using Sinatra without an ORM. What's the best approach for validating user input (without tying directly to the model layer)? Simple things like "string length", "is nu...

This is how I currently do it: - if defined? @user %body(data-account="#{@user.account}") %h1 Welcome -# all my content - else %body %h1 Welcome -# all my content As you can see there's a lot of duplicated code in there.

What is the correct way to route your request through Sinatra so that it serves up the file with no processing? I'm looking for the most common way people do this in the Sinatra framework?

I'm porting my OpenId authentication scheme from Sinatra to Rails 2.3.8. Everything works well up until I get the response back from my OpenId provider.
