Re: [Rails] Redirect to a 3rd party website

Actually, I think I found a solution now.

I first parse it, like:

uri = URI.parse(the_url)

and then:

redirect_to uri.to_s

Works :)

Write a utility method, e.g. redirect_to sanity_checked(url)  that either
returns the original URL if it's good or an encoded version if not.

Which is not to say that simply encoding it will fix every error, so it's
probably worth checking that result too  :-)
