	# Controllers can directly modify relative_path, which is copied into controller_path. The controllers may have rewriten the path so we update the path info:

	# No controller gave a useful result:
	return nil
end

#load_controller_file(uri_path) ⇒ Object

Loads the controller file for the given relative url_path.
