In the example above, using the mobile site brings up a search page for the article, rather than the article itself. Clicking on the article merely appears to refresh the page.

I have done some initial investigation on this bug and it seems
that it is related to the way that URLs in the Merb framework
are interpreted. It just assumes that a double slash is a mistake.
Which, isn't always a bad assumption. However, in this case it bites
us in the ass.

<+merboutpost> thedj: interesting, that's the router behaviour, feel free to file the Ticket in the lighthouse. It will take me some time to change that. I remember I've seen some similar ticket or conversation.
<+merboutpost> thedj: I remember that the result was: Not easy to fix :-)
No time to figure out how their OpenID works, and don't feel like signing up for Yet Another Bugreporting system.

Fixed this with some custom code in the show action. Only fixed for double slashes at the beginning of articles. Any double slash in the middle will break, but I can't think of any examples of that, so we will consider this closed for the moment.
PS: please don't just arbitrarily create an article with two slashes. ;)
