trailing slash misdirects resource controller - lukmim - 07-20-2021

when specifying a resource route according to the user guide:

PHP Code:
$routes->resource('photos'); 

the create() controller method is correctly called when POSTing data to /photos, however when a trailing slash is added /photos/ the index() controller method is called instead

adding a route like

PHP Code:
$routes->post('users/', 'Users::create');
$routes->resource('users'); 

before the resource route doesn't help

This is because a URL ending with a trailing slash is treated as a directory, not a file.

This applies to all URLs in general, not only in API or CodeIgniter as a whole.

sorry, I don't see how it makes a POST request to /photos/ equivalent to a GET request to /photos in a REST resource. Seems like now I need to manually add a check if index() has been called with the incorrect method and return 404
