In routes.rb
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'
but then
http://localhost:3000/foobars/alt
will work too. The params are:
{"action"=>"alt", "controller"=>"foobars"}
so looks like :id
is optional here. How can you tell it is optional vs not optional? Can you make it so that it is not optional in routes.rb?
