Hi there,

I have the following Director rule defined in my module's _config.php:

Director::addRules(101, array(
'Feed//$Action/$LoginName/$Password/$LastModDate/$OutputType/$DeleteMode' => 'FeedEngine'
));

When I access the url

http://lto-us:8888/Feed/Go/labcorp/abc123/0/analytes/0 

the module does what it's supposed to, which is great, but then I get the following message at the end:

I can't handle sub-URLs of a FeedEngine object.

Anybody know why this is?

If I remove the double slash (//) from the rule after the 'Feed' url, then I get this message:

The action 'analytes' does not exist in class FeedEngine

'analytes' is my $OutputType param so not sure why SS is saying it's the $Action param.

I'm confused about the use of the double slash. I couldn't find anywhere in the docs or forum what it means, but it seems like the separator between the url and the params.

thanks!
Steve

After chatting with simon_w (super helpful!) on IRC, we came to the following conclusion:

1. the single / should be used (double slashes have a different meaning and difficult to explain)
2. once I replaced the zero valued (0) params in the url with non-zero values, the module runs as it should. No explanation yet on why zeroes might be causing problems, though.
