[Chicago] Pylons/Groovie Routes Help

[Daniel Griffin]

Well, ideally you could just go /gecsjob/edit/BAT/JOB/11:11:09 4/29/2008
and it would bring you to the edit page for that job. The standard
/:controller/:action/:id wont do that because it is expecting a single key
correct? That is a major source of confusion for me since I dont know how
these routes will deal with all sorts of crazy keys.
