Rails: Does the option :host work in link_to?

[shiwei zhang]

Hi,

I used the following code line in a View file on machine
http://xx.test.com:7777:
<%= link_to "GoToAnotherHost", { rotocol => "http", :host =>
"app1books.test.com:7777", :controller => "admin", :action => "list" } %>
However the result is: the link "GoToAnotherHost" is always pointed to
http://xx.test.com:7777/admin/list rather than
http://app1books.test.com:7777/admin/list. I.e., the :host doesn't take
effect at all!
What's wrong with this? Do you meet the same problem?

Many Thanks!
Shiwei
