Re: Router::connect() not behaving as expected in 1.3?

SacoDesign is right. its not working as expected (or the cook book is
wrong)

- - Here is the same from cookbook ( http://book.cakephp.org/view/46/Routes-Configuration
)

"Another common use for the Router is to define an "alias" for a
controller. Let's say that instead of accessing our regular URL at /
users/someAction/5, we'd like to be able to access it by /cooks/
someAction/5. The following route easily takes care of that:
Plain Text View

Router::connect(
'/cooks/:action/*', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' =>
'index')
);

This is telling the Router that any url beginning with /cooks/ should
be sent to the users controller. "

It works fine except if there is no action specified that is the
situation in which cake should default to index() function

/cooks/action1 maps to users->action1()
/cooks/action2 maps to users->action2()
/cooks/index maps to users->index()

*BUT*

/cooks shows a CooksController missing error message
