Route globbing

[Will Bryant]

Hi guys,

Is anyone else using route globbing (map.connect '*path')?

I feel like I must be missing something - it seems completely broken on both 2.1.0 and edge.  If I create a new blank project and then add the route:

  map.connect '*path', :controller => 'test', :action => 'test'

and then request /foo/bar, I get:

 ActionController::MethodNotAllowed

Only get, head, post, put, and delete requests are allowed.

RAILS_ROOT: /Users/will/routetest

Hi

Are you using Rails 2.1?

I was doing something similar to this in 2.0 and it was working fine,
then I upgraded to 2.1 and got the same error. I "fixed" this over the
weekend by moving the map.connect up in the list of routes to near the
top, but I have not looked into why this was happening yet.

Yeah, same here.

Hmm, it's already up the top for me.  Removing the default unnamed routes seems to help though.
