Weird behaviour in links

[cmpsoares91]

Hey Dan I found something strange in Skeleton. Some links used with app.get() doesn't seem to work... I had issues with link such as 'something/sendMessage' that where fixed when I spit it into '/something/send/message' and Lower-Cased its characters.

So I filed it at the Express issue tracker and it was possible to exclude that it had anything to do with Express.

Do you know what's going on here?

P.S. I also added the question on StackOverflow.

Generally it's a bad idea to use mixed case in URLs (SEO and others...). I think you can make Express handle it though.

Express Routing:

Also look at: https://www.npmjs.org/package/express-uncapitalize

And what about long URLs?

[dstroot]

Long URLs no problem - you want them to be descriptive. Here's an example from my blog:

Nice blog template! What id you use?

I hand built it - too much time on my hands i guess... ;)

Damn! What do you do for a living man? I want to have that much time as well! :-P
