Rails + openid-login generator = Parameter action does not match return_to URL

[Kevin Turner]

I wasn't sure what was going on here at first, but someone else
encountered a similar problem over the weekend that sheds some light on
this one.

The hash you're sending to complete() includes "controller" and "action"
items.  I'm guessing those weren't really parameters that were part of
the request like openid.mode is.  Pass only the arguments that were sent
by the browser in the GET or POST and it should behave better.

The example code contains this line:

parameters = params.reject{|k,v|request.path_parameters[k]}

ew.
