I have seen some sites that use something like [app.com/controller-name](http://app.com/controller-name)  
in forms and tell no method…how can i do this?

It is possible to setup routes to default to a certain action based on  
incoming data. When you use a scaffold generator, for example, things  
like POST for [site.com/controller](http://site.com/controller) automatically go to the Edit  
actions. Look into how to edit your routes.rb file for how to set this  
up.
