    This is in fact the intended behavior. Rails allows the :id fragment to contain a wide range of characters, not just numbers. Perhaps index is a bit unintuitive, but imagine a request to /users/john. Clearly we don't want the john action, but a user whose name (which acts as an id in this example) is john, e.g.

    Thank you for the response and explanation.
