[Radiant] Extensions and authentication

[Todd McGrath]

I'm missing something obvious about extensions and authentication requirements?

Background
I setup an extension hoping to be able to process forms from the _public_ side
of the site.  

* using Mental Branch
* run ruby script\generate extension mailertest
* update mailertest_extension.rb:

   define_routes do |map|
     map.connect 'mailertest/:action', :controller => 'mailertest'
   end

* in mailertest controller add method to make sure the new controller is used:

  def index
    logger.info("if I'm not back in 5 minutes, wait longer")
  end

* access http://localhost:3000/mailertest 
where I'm promptly redirected to the /admin/ login screen.

log: 
Redirected to http://localhost:3000/admin/login
Filter chain halted as
[#<ActionController::Filters::ClassMethods::SymbolFilter:0x950b85c
@filter=:authenticate>] returned false.
Filter chain halted as [:authenticate] did not yield.

--/--
I'm missing something obvious aren't I?  Is there a way to specify that an
extension shouldn't require authentication?


Actually, maybe I'm on the wrong track all together - I want to be able to
process forms submitted from the public side of the site.  I don't need any
tags  that will create the forms and inputs.  Perhaps, easier if I add a route
in routes.rb to /mailertest and put the controller alongside Radiant code?

Any insight appreciated!
