Stolen from rack: Rack::URLMap takes a hash mapping urls or paths to apps, and dispatches accordingly.

URLMap modifies the SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO such that the part relevant for dispatch is in the SCRIPT_NAME, and the rest in the PATH_INFO. This should be taken care of when you need to reconstruct the URL in order to create links.

URLMap dispatches in such a way that the longest paths are tried first, since they are most specific.
