I ran  
rails StresslessHomeStaging  
as well as webrick.

Feeding [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to Firefox works fine.

I then ran  
ruby script/generate controller BeforeAfter

This created BeforeAfterController

I then did

class BeforeAfterController \< ApplicationController  
def before\_and\_after  
end  
end

I then fed  
[http://localhost:3000/BeforeAfter/before\_and\_after](http://localhost:3000/BeforeAfter/before_and_after)  
to Firefox expecting a Template is Missing error.

Instead, I get a  
Routing Error  
No route matches “/BeforeAfter/before\_and\_after” with {:method=\>:get}

Clearly, I do not understand what the proper routing is.

What is the proper routing when a controller has multiple capitals in  
the name?

I figured it out … it’s  
[http://localhost:3000/before\_after/before\_and\_after](http://localhost:3000/before_after/before_and_after)

But that leaves another question …

Why does  
[http://localhost:3000/BEFORE\_AFTER/before\_and\_after](http://localhost:3000/BEFORE_AFTER/before_and_after)  
generate an (expected) “Template is missing”

but  
[http://localhost:3000/before\_after/before\_and\_After](http://localhost:3000/before_after/before_and_After) (note the  
capital A)  
generates a  
Unknown action  
No action responded to before\_and\_After. Actions: before\_and\_after

Is Ruby case insensitive in the controller name but case sensitive in  
the action name???

Ruby routes are case sensitive.
