Thanks for the reply, but I don't think it's a good idea to 'hack' the 
library. Like you said 'it could break other URI's'.

But even if I'm going to hackl the library, I ran into another 
difficulty. I'll have to hack the library on all the servers I deploy 
the Ruby-app to.

Again, thanks for your reply, but I don't think it's a good idea.
