In my application_helper.rb file I have a function like this:
def internal_request?
server_name = request.env['SERVER_NAME']

This function is needed in controllers, model, and views. So, I put this code in a utility function file in the lib/ directory. However, this did not work: I got complaints about request not being defined.
