In Rails, is the RESTful standard that a GET to /users is for index action, and a POST to /users is for create action? -

i looking rails plugin, , seems create user, html form says

<form action="/users" method="post"> 

and if

rake routes 

it says:

users    /users(.:format)           {:controller=>"users", :action=>"index"}       post   /users(.:format)           {:controller=>"users", :action=>"create"} 

so looks standard /controller_name perform index action, while post perform create action? 100% standard? there exception?

ther answer no

rails routs flexible can imagine.

but. rails loves rest style. can read wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/representational_state_transfer

rest crud: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/create,_read,_update_and_delete

so. have got convention resources. can:

• read list of resources: get /resources
• read resource: get /resources/:id
• create new resource: post /resources
• update resource: put /resources/:id
• delete resource: delete /resources/:id
• read resource edit: get /resources/:id/edit
• read creating: get /resources/new

this basis of rest.
