uri routing to index()

[eluser]-sek[/eluser]
Appreciate the help. My current solution is to create a browse function

Code:

function browse() {}

and get the parameter from

Code:

$this->uri->segment(3);

with

Code:

$route['friends'] = "friends/browse";

in routes to hide the existence of the browse function. I still do not know if this is compatible with the CI pagination library.

I wonder which method would fail more gracefully if someone forgot to specify the route? Depending on routing bugs me.
