Hi,

I am trying to write two kind of Rake routes. As we can see, Rake allow  
us to write such routes as instance:

app = Rack::URLMap.new(’/test’ =\> SimpleAdapter.new,  
‘/files’ =\> Rack::File.new(’.’))

In my case, I would like to handle those routes:

- “/” or “index”
- “/\*” (in order to match any other routes)

So I had trying this:

app = Rack::URLMap.new(’/index’ =\> SimpleAdapter.new,  
‘/’ =\> Rack::File.new(’./public’))

This work well, but… I don’t know how to add ‘/’ path (as alternative  
of ‘/index’ path). The path ‘/\*’ is not interpreted as a joker,  
according to my tests. Do you know how I could do?

Thanks
