I am trying to conditonally return a resource from the index page. I
noticed that any other URL results in a 404:

# Snippet

@cherrypy.expose

class User:
    def index(self, id = none):
        if  id:
            ...
        else:
            return "User not found"

So calls to /user work, but calls like "user/2" fail. Does the index()
function behave differently?

Thanks

I just noticed that calls like:

"user?ide=2" work, is this a bug?

Thanks

After a little more researching, I moved the sub resource variable to
the "default()" handler, now it works as expected. Is this correct way
to handle this problem? I did not find any documentation on this.

Thanks

Yes, the index method does behave differently. It is the only function
which cannot take positional arguments. This is mentioned indirectly
