Rails + webbrick + redirect_to + itms-services == bug
Raw
Abstract.md

Problem:

Calling redirect_to "itms-services:\/\/\/\/?action=download-manifest&url=#{some_url}" does not behave as expected. It sets the location header to itms-services:?action=download-manifest&url=#{some_url} it should be itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=#{some_url} Notice the forward slashes are missing from the location header value.

Solution (a dirty, dirty hack); use four backslashes:

redirect_to "itms-services:\/\/\/\/?action=download-manifest&url=#{some_url}"

I ended up doing redirect_to "itms-services:\/\/myAppName?action=download-manifest&url=#{some_url}" instead. I think web brick gets pissed because it does not see a hostname between the protocol and query string. Adding one made it happy.
